The current 0.18-micron Palomino design still has some fight left in it as well. As we've seen in our overclocking tests, even today's chips are physically able to run at 1.8 GHz with slightly better cooling. As AMD's manufacturing processes continue to get better, it will be very likely that AMD releases two to three more speed revisions of the current Athlon XP design before finally transitioning to their 0.13 micron designs.

If I recall correctly, I predicted 1.65GHz to 1.7GHz to be the top speed AMD would be able to reach at .18um. I still doubt they can go higher. Quite an achievement for AMD. They have by far the fastest .18um generation processor on the planet at a very reasonable price. It will be interesting to see how generally available this speed grade will be relative to Intel's 2GHz .18um offering.
