Re: Looks like 1.8Ghz Palomino is for real

That would be great, but since a 1.5GHZ Palamino is faster than a 2GHZ P4, AMD doesn't need it, and may well sit on it until Northwood is in volume.

Fan/Heatsink combos rated for 1.5GHZ Athlon have been out for months now, haven't they?

AMD will have a tough time keeping up with demand for 1.5GHZ parts, now that they have desktop, mobile, and server sectors to satisfy. Those sub 35 watt SMF parts are targeted directly at the corporate market that likes small boxes that are easy to fit into cubicles.

Near term, I think 1.8GHZ is total overkill, and AMD won't release it whether the parts are ready or not.

But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Regards,

Dan
