Re: "I'm sure you've read all about the benchmarks on RDRAM and how the i820 (Camino) is inferior in every single way to the BX chipset and the usual rants and raves. I'm here to tell you that not all of these benchmarks are unfounded, in fact, there is quite a bit of truth to the current performance of RDRAM on the 820. "snip Elmer you have a serious credibility problem on this thread, and you keep making it worse old boy. Only youseless with his phantom shorts has less credibility right now- but u keep fudding along.......right with him." Kash, you continue to have difficulty keeping your facts straight. You criticize me regarding RDRAM benchmarks, but I have been posting about CuMine benchmarks. Can't you get the 2 straight? To comment about RDRAM & Camino: I am very disappointed to see that it appears that Camino will offer no significant advantage compared to the 440BX and it's many derivatives, based on the information presented so far. What can I say? I'm disappointed. How do you expect me to feel? I have several short put positions in RamBus and I am re-evaluating them at this time. Does that make it clear now? Camino is not CuMine. I stand by my comments regarding CuMine performance. I have made no significant comments regarding Camino so there's nothing to stand by there. EP

700 MHz Athlons: Check this e-mail out: Just got my October Computer Shopper in the mail today and it seems that the 700 MHz Athlons are just around the corner. CyberMax is advertising a 700 MHz system with 21" monitor for $2899. They also make sure that the 700 MHz sticks out so its one of the first things you see. Joey H. amdzone.com Petz

From the Register: AMD ships Athlon 700s in volume An OEM close to AMD's plans has told The Register that it has started to receive supplies of the Athlon 700MHz microprocessor in volume. That means that AMD has exceeded its target in ramping up the processor frequency of the Athlon K7, and means machines are likely to be available in a matter of weeks. The German OEM, who declined to be named, said that he had already received sufficient stock of Athlon 700s to start building machines. Further volume stocks are on their way to him, he confirmed. Those reports are strengthened by specialist Web site AMD Zone which is reporting that adverts using the Athlon 700 are already in print. According to the site, the October issue of Computer Shopper is carrying an advert by a firm called Cybermax, which is selling a 700MHz Athlon system with a 21-inch monitor for just under $3,000. At launch, in summer, AMD vowed it would introduce ramped up Athlons throughout the whole of this year. Intel has adjusted its marketing plans to bring faster processors at a cheaper price since the Athlon first emerged from its non-disclosure agreement. ©
