PB - RE: "I read the presentation. What is the launch timeframe for the product listed above? I couldn't discern this from the slides." AMD says Athlon w/266 bus will come next year. But I really doubt the extra 66MHz (or 33 if you count that way) increases the performance THAT much. I would expect the normal Athlon 700 out right NOW should be able to get close to those estimated SPEC scores when using AMD's optimized compiler.

PB, <What is the launch timeframe for the product listed above?> This benchmark, I believe is for Athlon Pro (prime competition for CuMine in business desktops), which I believe has been with OEMs for a few weeks now. When Paul was referring to IBM 750's couple of weeks back, I have a feeling this is what he may have heard about. In summary, it is in the same time frame as CuMine but AMD is not planning on rushing it in to the market until Q1. Chuck P.S.: I think 700 is the lowest speed grade for Athlon Pro/Ultra. At launch it should be at least a 100MHz higher if not more. P.P.S.: Now, after some more rumors in the press about 750MHz Athlons later this month, do you still think Athlon 700 bin splits are light?
