Kap, Re: In particular that it is 6-8 months late. Palomino was scheduled for March after the tape-out.

Palomino (originally called Mustang minus the large 2nd level cache) was scheduled for 2nd half 2000 originally. Now it will be released in September 2001. That's means it's between 9 and 14 months late. Here's a link to AMD original plan:

zdnet.com

AMD, in the second half of 2000, will turn the key on Mustang, the code name for an even higher performing Athlon chip. Mustang will support a 266MHz system bus and up to 2MB of on-board cache. The chip also will be AMD's first 0.18-micron processor to utilize copper interconnects. The chip will work with Slot A or Socket A packages.

Mustang, in Socket A packaging, will be the first Athlon with mobile features, according to AMD. This means that it will meet power consumption and thermal needs of notebooks. AMD, however, has not yet disclosed when it plans to introduce a mobile Athlon. Mustang will also have an application in the value market, Herb said.
