<font color=red>Palomino 2200+ Details Confirmed

We have recently received a word from our reliable source that AMD is going to launch one more processor based on the old 0.18micron Palomino core before the new 0.13micron Thoroughbred based CPUs come out. Today this info got confirmed.

One of our readers (special thanks to Shaun L) sent us a picture of Athlon XP 2200+ based on the Palomino core:

This way, we are absolutely sure that very soon AMD will really announce a new Athlon XP (Palomino) with 2200+ rating. New Athlon XP will work at 1.8GHz core clock frequency and will support the same Vcore as the previous Palomino based CPUs: 1.75V.

I would like to point out here that the launching of one more Palomino based processor signals us that the migration to a new Thoroughbred core is to come not that soon. However, it is evident that 1.8GHz frequency is the very top of Palomino's potential. And the next Athlon XP processors with higher working frequencies will have to use the new 0.13micron core. Proving this point the same source told us that overclocking Athlon XP 2200+ appeared nearly completely impossible and he failed to reach 1.87GHz.
