AMD NEWS: "Fan-free Athlon Palomino 'runs at 1.5GHz"

Following our report last week that AMD was experimenting
with a new pure form of silicon (later confirmed by AMD
Zone), news reaches The Reg of Chimpzilla's progress with
the upcoming Palomino.
A new natural substance that disspates heat much better than
ceramics is being tested and a Palomino prototype is
reported to be running in AMD's Fab25 in Austin at 1.5GHz
with a simple passive heatsink.

Details of temperatures have yet to leak, but the test chip
is said to use aluminium, rather than copper interconnects.

A Fab 25 insider said Palomino was "looking good". ®
