I got this from PM, the part about sledgehammer does not realy make sense. Perhaps sledgehammer is more like K7 than I thought. To: Mani Ahmadi From: AthlonK7 ragingbull.com AMD speeds up Sledgehammer. by: FactFirst 1/13/00 10:41 pm Msg: 96496 of 96517 My friend told me the following message was released by AMD's chief marketing executive Rex Meek on the debut of Athlon 800 in Taiwan. aceshardware.com Mustang To Use x86-64? (AMD) Posted By Brian Neal Thursday, January 13, 2000 - 9:37:33 PM This article from PC Home Taiwan seems to have some incredibly interesting information regarding AMD's future plans. What stands out the most is PC Home's assertion that Mustang, the successor to Thunderbird, will actually use the Sledgehammer/K8 (X86-64) core! They also indicate it will be equipped with up to 2 MB of L2 cache, and will be available for both Slot A and Socket A. There's more planned for Mustang, however, including an entry level version only shipping for Socket A and even a mobile version. There was also some other information worth noting: Thunderbird will be a K75 core on a 0.18-micron and integrated L2 cache at full speed (this we already know). As expected, the K6-2+ will debut in February. VIA's DDR-266 Athlon chipset, the KX266 should appear in the third quarter of 2000. A very special thanks to KH for running across all of this! -------------------------------------- The source is in Chinese: shoppingguide.com.tw
