Gary - Re: "But this GHz race becomes very interesting. One thing is why don't AMD announce copper based Athlon as they can release Athlon at any speed they want ? And why not say a 1.1G which they have successfully demonstrated in public :-)" The Aluminum AThWipey will be used for the AMD 1 GHz to be released next week according to Anand. Clearly, The Dregs-den Copper process is still not working for a production launch. But then, AMD only BOUGHT the Motorola Copper process almost TWO YEARS ago - !!!!! It's a good thing AMD didn't develop their own Copper Process ! {===================================} anandtech.com "AMD showed off their 1.1GHz (1116MHz to be exact) Thunderbird platform at CeBIT, just like they did to us at the Intel Developer Forum a couple weeks ago. In spite of these recent demonstrations, AMD's next clock speed release won't be based on the new Thunderbird core but the K75 core that we've been used to. The Thunderbird core will eventually make its introduction around the April/May time frame, just in time for E3 which, if you recall, is where AMD first introduced their K6-2 from 2 years ago. We'll have more information about Thunderbird as well as Intel's competing solution, the Willamette in an upcoming article about the future of the desktop, workstation and server PC markets based on current roadmaps.
