Chung, <AnandTech May 4th Editorial : AMD's 2000 Roadmap - The Facts anandtech.com > Welcome aboard. Nice article from Anand. thanks for posting the link. <The remaining question is what happens when you overclock the Celeron to 850MHz or beyond; only then will the Duron have problems keeping up because it currently takes an Athlon 800 or an 850 to match or beat the performance of a Celeron overclocked to 850MHz on a BX board.> This doesn't make sense to me. I cannot see any realistic scenario or any MHz where Celeron would outperform Spitfire.Does anyone? <The assumption has always been that, upon the release of the Thunderbird, everyone would be running motherboard platforms with DDR SDRAM support, but unfortunately, that won't be the case. Remember that we just said that the only two available platforms for Socket-A processors at the launch of the Duron/Thunderbird will be the AMD 750 and the VIA KZ133. We already know that the AMD 750 doesn't support DDR SDRAM, and as we made it a point to mention twice above, the KZ133 is nothing more than the KX133 with support for Socket-A. This translates into no DDR SDRAM platforms available for the Athlon at the launch of the Thunderbird ? don't kill the messenger.> "shooting the messenger", I wonder if Anand was reading this thread ;-) Anyways, it kind of felt a little bit of Deja Vu to me so I went back to check if we had this discussion before. Well, what do you know, we did and the discussion was a bit more polite then. What a difference 40 points make! Message 12989446 Message 12989474 Message 12989512 Chuck
