Petz,
RE:"Paul, re:<I heard the ThumperTurd is sampling and will be released next month>
For real? I thought the low-end chip, Spitfire, would preceed the high end chip. After all, it doesn't have as much L2, doesn't have to do SMP, etc."

I'm amazed Paul would pay attention to hinty hinty, winky inky. <G>

Therefore it's a lower-value offering, essentially a cost-reduction of T-bird. But T-bird is the stalking horse which will still fit into the existing slot infrastructure and also break the ice with respect to the new socket infrastructure.
