Jim, re:<Reports are that even the Athlon 500s that AMD is shipping are down binned 650s> Apparently "down-binning" will continue with the 0.18's. The new power dissipation document for the 0.18µ Athlons has power dissipation listed for speeds from 550 to 750 MHz. So, perhaps only the 500 speed grade will disappear in a little while. See table 14.9 in "AMD Athlon Processor Data Sheet, Nov. 1999" at amd.com BTW, don't worry that the maximum frequency is "only" 750 MHz. These specs are normally revised only when new speed grades are introduced. Table 14.9 can be extrapolated to predict that the 900 MHz Athlon in 0.18u will have about the same power dissipation as the current 650 MHz Athlon in table 6.9. Petz
