RE: <New article on Tom's web site:>

Jozef

From the article:

"...This performance delta will become painfully dramatic against Intel when AMD soon releases Dresden based Athlons with integrated L2 caches (code name 'Thunderbird'), and utilizing DDR SDRAM that fully exploit the Athlons 200 and 266 MHz bus speeds. "

Thunderbird should indeed bring a tremendous improvement in performance, it crossed my mind while reading this that given how the current Athlons have brought AMD back from unprofitability and how Thunderbird is likely to continue that rise to even greater levels maybe AMD should have code named it Phoenix instead. ;)

Thanks,
