thread, an observation from two sources, the AMD 1100 mhz demo was not a Thunderbird? 3dnow.org amd.com Just a regular Athlon with L2 added and jacked up the voltage to a bazillion gigawatts. :o) *ntel still doesn't know what Jerry is up to. Cool! steve

Re: "Athlon will have little trouble continuing to scale the MHz ladder. AMD has not even opened the bag of tricks Intel is using to try to stay competitive." Seems to me you were making that claim back around 600MHz. You were wrong then and you are wrong now. AMD didn't jack the voltage up for no reason and Intel is shipping large numbers of 1 GHz CuMine samples soon to be followed by production. The fact is Scumbria that your predictions do not have a very good track record and they're not getting better. I am pleased to see though you are recovering from your bout of temporary insanity following the Willamette Demos.
