Elmer bitterly said:

"It was a paper launch by a paniced AMD who was falling farther and farther behind Intel in the MHz as well as performance race. BTW I can tell you how it performs. It trails Intel's 1.133GHz CuMine in virtually every major benchmark and also trails the 1.0 GHz CuMine in many."

Actually.. it was an announcement by AMD that it was shipping the 1.1 to major OEMS.. The expiration of AMD's NDA and official announcement of the 1.1 (and when all the benchmarks get published by independent hardware sites) comes Aug 28. As for how it performs.. I'll have to go tell Johan of Aces Hardware of your assessment.. apparently his hints that the T-bird 1.1 beats the P III 1.13 in the majority of benchmark tests is wrong, since you said so :)
