Jim, Re: AMD is prepared to bump up the Thunderbird a speed grade or two

Yeah, my thinking exactly. Didn't Anand, the benchmarker-savant, imply something (paraphrasing) like "and soon, 1100 MHz" just a little while ago? It would make sense-- release 750 MHz Durons, retire the 750 (and OEM 700) Tbirds, maybe even retire the 800 Tbird to make room for another Duron bump, and release the 1100 Tbird, for a tbird span of 850, 900, 1000, 1100...

Re: might also mean that AMD is prepared to bump up the Thunderbird a speed grade or two...

QDI documentation shows their motherboard supporting the present 1.1GHZ Athlon and future (presumeably faster) releases.

qdigrp.com
AMD Athlon Processors at 750/800/850/900/950MHz ,1GHz, 1.1GHz and future

I think that by fall Duron will be 900MHZ and below while Athlon is 1GHZ and higher - and fall is 4 months away.

Regards,

Dan
