<font color=darkred>TOP STORY: AMD rides off to the notebook races with Palomino
The Intel rival may have been a non-factor in the notebook computer race so far, but this quarter the company is finally going to bust out of the starting gate riding its Palomino notebook PC processor.

Details of Palomino leaked to EBN describe a chip with a clock rate of 1.3 to 1.4GHz, supported by double-channel PC2100 memory modules with 4.2Gbit/s data rates.

Palomino, which succeeds the Thunderbird version of Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD's top-of-the-line Athlon MPU, will make its market debut in notebook PCs, with desktop versions expected to follow in the third quarter.

Although Palomino can be supported by several third-party chipsets, the launch will feature a new Nvidia Corp. integrated north bridge memory controller/graphics processor-the same single-chip design Nvidia is using for the upcoming Microsoft Corp. X-Box electronic game console.

Nvidia will also supply the same streaming-audio south bridge chip that it is producing for X-Box. The Nvidia core-logic controller approach will use the 128-bit graphics bus to interface with Palomino as well-two times larger than any memory bus line connecting with any existing PC processor today, sources noted.

Both AMD and Nvidia spokespersons failed to respond to inquiries regarding the Palomino notebook features.
