News From AMD Dresden! Johan

Tuesday, December 07, 1999 (06:35 AM West-Europa (standaardtijd)) Well, our sources close to AMD are telling us good and bad news.

The good news: a good percentage of .18 micron Athlon's (Al) are yielding 1 GHz. A decent amount of Copper Athlons (better take a seat) are already hitting 1.2 GHz!! Again, Yields are way better than expected. The Thunderbird seems to be ahead of schedule too (no details right now).

The bad news: the K6-2+ and K6-III+ continue to have problems to yield at higher speeds (533 MHz+). Oh well, you can't have it all.
