TWY...Re..<<<<< Even if these rumors are true, I would say these 1.5GHz parts are without regard to guard band. A 1.5GHz raw Fmax part would ship at 1.3GHz(at best) Think minimum 12% guard band and 100MHz incremental bin spits. The expectations on this thread are perhaps a bit too high.<<<<<<< TWY, what our expectations are or what really happens is immaterial to this argument. Charles conceded in his initial argument that 1.5 ghz could ship now in limited quantities. The question is, if AMD can ship 1.5 ghz in limited quantities, should they, or should AMD introduce the lower speed grade, such as a 1 ghz or 1.1 ghz and go up from there. Charles favored the slow but sure. I favor the wow factor. Nobody is saying here that AMD should intro a 1.5 ghz if they don't have any available.
