Hello Joe, Just saw this on AMDzone amdzone.com, I know its early for credible reviews but thought you and this thread might be interested. I liked the part about 700MHz Tbird beating the 900 MHz classic Athlon! The text is Chinese but the link has good pictures: Another Tbird Review Reported by: Chris Tom At: 8:56 PM Source: JC's Saw on JC's that this Taiwanese Overclocker's page has posted a Thunderbird review of sorts. Now the strange thing again is that it is on the non existant Thunderbird 700. What is up? Either these got dumped on the black market, leaked from a motherboard company, or NDAs in Taiwan aren't worth the paper they are written on. You decide. The review, although dated today, seems to be from the past because it calls the KT133 the KZ133, and says the Duron has 128KB of L2 cache. They also compared benchmarks from an engineering sample Athlon 900 with a 360MHz cache and showed the mystery Tbird beating it. Quite a contrast from the Hong Kong benchmarks from yesterday. It really makes me wonder what is going on over seas. Leaked 700MHz Tbird samples is the theory I'm going with for now. Kindest regards, CrazyMan
