AMD plans for 266MHz system bus (DDR) and for a two-way processing RDRAM chip set in the 2nd half of 2000. Clips: AMD, in the second half of 2000, will turn the key on Mustang, the code name for an even higher performing Athlon chip. Mustang will support a 266MHz system bus and up to 2MB of on-board cache. The chip also will be AMD's first 0.18-micron processor to utilize copper interconnects. The chip will work with Slot A or Socket A packages. Mustang, in Socket A packaging, will be the first Athlon with mobile features, according to AMD. This means that it will meet power consumption and thermal needs of notebooks. AMD, however, has not yet disclosed when it plans to introduce a mobile Athlon. Mustang will also have an application in the value market, Herb said. AMD will also introduce a two-way processing chip set in the second half of next year. The chip set, named IGD 4, will be one of the first multiprocessing chip sets. It will support Rambus memory as well as AGP 4X. AMD partners Hotrail and API are developing four-way processor chip sets as well. All of the multiprocessor efforts are targeted primarily at the server market. zdnet.com
