hansdevries, thanks for the translation. Re <<June 5th will be the official introduction of the 1.5 GHz>> Once again I say, NO FREAKING WAY! Maybe there will be some sort of a 1.5 Ghz demo (I doubt that) , but no way a product "introduction". Re <<180 nm isn't used at Dresden anymore.>> So Dresden is already done with the 0.18 process and we have not seen any of them yet! Does not sound right to me at all. Re <<The 1.5 GHz Thunderbird has already been sold to large customers. It will make it into the shops at June 5.>> We still have not seen a large number of 1 GHz part and all the sudden in the next 10 days we will see a whopping 50% increase to 1.5 GHz? In the store by June 5th? With what mother boards? From who? The fact that we are quoting this guy is absurd! What happened to 1.05 GHz to 1.45 GHz? Are we to believe that AMD will have the Athlon from 700 MHz in 50 MHz increments all the way to 1500 Mhz? That is 16 speed grades! hansdevries Re << He doesn't look like an idiot>> He certainly does to me. First I heard it I just laughed it off, and the fact that the knowledgeable people of this thread seem to be thinking about believing this BS is amazing to me. Mani

Hans, Thanks for the translation. I was struggling through the German BBS earlier today, with help of my very elementary knowledge of German language and mainly Babelfish: babelfish.altavista.com As I posted earlier, if you consider the best case scenario for AMD as far as schedule, output, binsplits and improve it by about 20%, you get what the poster Innsbruck posted. It's still within the realm of possibilities, but at the limit of what's credible, just short of unbelievable. If it is true, we will all be celebrating. Joe
