CrazyMan,

Thunderbird remains shrouded in mystery?

That is something I was wondering about as well. AMD seems to be spreading some misinformation too. Here is something on JCs: jc-news.com
According to this article, Thunderbird will initially top out at 850MHz (unsure whether this means for Asia only, or for the Slot version only, or what).
Especially since I have seen the 1 GHz Tbird demo machine with my own eyes at the shareholder meeting, running a heavy duty processor intensive stuff (not a CPUID utility). And Tom has seen 1.1 GHz Tbird at CeBit in Germany

Crazyman,

1. Why is Duron information available in quantity from the AMD website while the Thunderbird remains shrouded in mystery? Is something different
about the TBird?

Good question. I have been wondering about this myself. Perhaps the answer is just simply that the Tbird retains the Athlon name. Spitfire got a new brand name that will have to be advertised.

Pravin.
