Why would AMD want to release a 1 gig Athlon before they introduce the 800, 850, 900, 950 and 1000? That's the logical way to do it...teasing Intel all the way...<G> Didn't they learn that from Intel? Do you really think Intel planned on introducing a 733 so early? They had to shoot nearly the whole MHZ scale on the release, just to top Athlon in MHZ for a few weeks...
I also suspect that the problem AMD with releasing a chip at that high a speed might have to wait for a better L2 cache chip arrangement of some kind...I also have no doubt when AMD puts the cache on the athlon die that the coppermine will not even come close...
