Max,

Re: Athlon/Tbird performance.

Yup so far the performance is less than compelling although these 700's may have been crippled somewhat.

However the Duron's performance seemed faster than Athlon classic.

I suspect the Duron will be a much better value than the tbird, but the same can be said for celeron and cumine.

However Intel cripples the memory bus on celery for differentiation - which seems pretty smart.

I see duron/tbird being very similar performance on a clock 2 clock basis at least until the 760 and DDR in Q3.

In the meantime he key for tbird/duron is DECREASED cost, INCREASED MARGINS for AMD as opposed to killer performance.

regards,

Kash
