Some info from a lurker Brian emailed me this info from a computer vendor's website - "AMD is dropping pricing as of Monday on the Athlon processors. We have the new pricing on our CPU page. AMD is introducing at the end of this month/beginning of next month the Duron (new Socket-A) and reworked on-die cache Athlon. The Athlon processors at this time are still the off-die cache models. We have conflicting information from AMD regarding the format of the on-die cache Athlon. AMD's web site states that it will be available both slot-A and socket-A, yet an email from AMD support indicates that we shouldn't let our inventories of slot-A motherboards exceed our supply of slot-A chips. Our major direct supplier of AMD processors tells us that we should expect to see the new Athlons at the end of July. In the meantime, prices look good on the classic Athlons!" jncs.com AMD seems to be really agressive on the move to sockets. End of July seems REALLY late for Thunderbird. Either this company is slow to get processors or I guess OEMs will be sucking up Thunderbirds really fast.
