Re: "(2) c't says they couldn't get a processor to test from AMD, and procured this 700 MHz CPU through "other channels". Might this be an early engineering sample? Might improvements have been made in the production silicon? I expect we'll know in... 36 hours or so, but it's fun to speculate. Comments?"

Yes. It seems odd that despite the claims of gazillions of ultra highspeed parts pouring out of Dresden, plus 3 1/2 years of "development" C'T can't get a sample to test.....

I'll bet AMD doesn't want to let any out while they "build inventory" <G>
