RE AMD's NEWEST LAUNCH....ISN'T THE 750 SUPPOSED TO SHIP LATER THIS MONTH...WON'T THAT MAKE TWO LAUNCHES IN ONE MONTH :~) AMD ships 700 MHz Athlon microprocessor SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct 4 (Reuters) - Computer microprocessor maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. <AMD.N> on Monday introduced a 700-megahertz processor, the fastest available and the latest in its Athlon line. The new processor's speed outstrips the most recent 600 MHz Pentium III, produced by its archrival Intel Corp. <INTC.O>. Intel has plans to introduce faster processors. Compaq Computer Corp. <CPQ.N> and International Business Machines Corp. <IBM.N> will make systems based on the Athlon processor, AMD said in a release. The move is part of AMD's strategy of shifting its focus on providing processors to the more profitable higher end of the personal computer market, rather than the low end. The new 700 MHz processor is priced at $849 each in 1,000-unit quantities. 12:29 10-04-99 Copyright 1999 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
