Joe and all, has this been posted yet? From the 1.33 GHz announcement: electronicnews.com AMD, however, will use the Palomino core to crack the multiprocessing market. This is primarily because the Thunderbird core has some power dissipation issues that will only be rectified with the Palomino. “ It is designed to be a lower power chip than the Athlon,” Krewell said. “If you put two Thunderbirds on a motherboard it’s going to cook. But two Palomino’s on a board doesn’t stress the thermals of the system.” This is the first time I've heard of thermals being an issue with AMD's SMP solution. Not that I really buy the argument as an excuse for the delays, but maybe this could be a sign that AMD is aiming for design wins in 1U ultra-dense rack-mounted servers which seem to be gaining in popularity these days.
