Scumbria, <2GHz systems will be available by the end of this year>

Presumably that means they expect to get Athlons that are capable of over 1.5 GHz air cooled, assuming cooling will give them about a 30% performance boost?

Sounds like Willamette is not the end of the road for the Athlon to me.

LoL Scumbia, that was a interesting article. Just think, if Intel would have had any money left after IDF, Intel would have been able to afford a regular sized booth, food and a blimp to fly their banner. And now 2 ghz Athlons. Elmer must be shitting in his pants by now, wondering what to do with 6 million 500 mhz coppermines/wk.

I'm sure these will be overclocked 1.5GHz Willamette's, right? LOL

It would be interesting to see if this happens. I fully expect AMD to be north of 1.4G in Q4 but I wonder if there would be much margin for Kryotech at that point. Something within the realm of possibilities based on what we have seen - but sounds like a stretch goal.
