Charles - <Granted Wilamette just saw silicon and it ain't a fair comparision but from what I can tell Thunderbird currently is running at much higher frequencies than W* and is pretty darned close to production...Well, next Wednesday may too close but things may change in a couple of weeks when Intel is expected to get a W* demo (if it gets to 1G that is). Mikey Dell, I am sure, is paying a lot of attention.> So you are saying that Willamette has seen 1st Si, and you don't know the speed? What in the hell happened to your sources? PB

Chuckles - Re: "Granted Wilamette just saw silicon and it ain't a fair comparision but from what I can tell Thunderbird currently is running at much higher frequencies than W* and is pretty darned close to production" NO !!! That can't BE !!! Expert McMannis said Willamette was DELAYED another 6 months or more ! Re: " weeks when Intel is expected to get a W* demo (if it gets to 1G that is). " Willamette may NEVER get to 1 GHz - if it NEVER TAPES OUT ! Besides - the Willamette isn't SPRY - like the AthWipey ! Re: "from what I can tell Thunderbird currently is running at much higher frequencies than W* and is pretty darned close to production." So the ThumperBurp exists, eh ? And is CLOSE to production, eh ? That must mean 1 GHz very soon - eh? Paul
