Jim,

There are some speculations going on about improvements made to Athlon system components - K7 700 CPUS, AMD750(Northbridge) and AMD756(South bridge). The net result of all these improvements were improved L2 performance, improved memory bandwidth to FPU and MMX units, higher PCI transfer rates, etc. There are some details posted on this at aceshardware.com . If true, it'd give me a strong indication that AMD is beyond any worries of yield, manufacturing problems, and concentrating on performance improvements.

Regards,
Goutama
