RE:"Jim, what are the specs for Palomino mobile, i.e., speed and power? Any numbers leaked or otherwise? I don't remember seeing any and I read a lot around here. AMD has yet to show competency in low power, high speed, have they? Will they compete with 0.13 Tualatin? AMDroids seem to think Palo is a slam dunk. May be, but the proof is in the pudding, or putting, whatever"
Droid, smoid. About all the Palomino can do is crawl out of a box...then maybe learn to walk. The good news is that AMD will be starting from nearly ZERO mobile market share so anything will look good.
RE:"Jerry said the other day on CNBC there were only two players in the µP chip game, i.e., after getting done with his pig trash talk. I wonder if he remembers what it's like eating crow, as in K5 (+ K6-3) days"
Jerry talks a good came but carries a little stick. Even with Athlon, AMD has too many holes in the product line.
Maybe he can plug a couple. I'll believe it when I see it.
I recall some article that Transmeta is readying 1.4 Ghz chips that run on 1/2 a watt. That would be a player.
