Milo - I think Pravin meant that one could count each TBird speed as two if there were a slotted and socketed version. Given the strong rumors of Duron launch on the 12th, I think Monday may be all TBird, in which case he may be right. Unfortunately, that may mean no > 1G speeds, or, as the c'T article suggests, one at 1.1G. Vince

I wonder why all those reviews are made on 700 MHz TBird (the lowest they probably have) and on 700 MHz Duron (the fastest they are expected to launch. To compare speed? I don't think so, since the comparison isn't glorious at all for what they claim to be their first Buisness/corporate chip. I seriously doubt of those results, or maybe am I only disappointed. I remember AMD's Drew Prairie was talking about a 25% gain in performance clock for clock. If we don't see at least that, TBird's chances against Willy diminish.
