New Anandtech and Athlon 850 review

He tests using a shipping KX133 motherboard - Epox.

"There is very little keeping AMD from releasing a 900MHz or even a 950MHz Athlon CPU at this point other that the fact that there is no need for one since Intel has yet to announce anything faster than 800MHz. But judging from their recent trend of announcing processors without actually having the announcement resulting in physical availability of the chips, Intel could theoretically announce a higher clock speed part and force AMD to release the Athlon at 900MHz or above. For this reason, we can?t make any statement as to exactly when AMD will introduce the higher speed CPUs, it?s all up to when Intel?s 866MHz Pentium III is officially announced."
