Cringe - Re: "Are you not expecting the Athlon to scale higher in GHz? "

Hard to say.

As you noted, Dupalons are MIA and AMD seems to have BOTCHED that launch !

The initial Copper ThumperTurds are NO faster than the aluminum ones !!!

What does that tell you ?

"
1) The processors coming from the fabrication plant in Dresden, Germany is pumping out Athlon’s that use copper interconnects, instead of the aluminum interconnects of the Austin, TX fabrication plant. AMD reports that there is no gain in performance in the Dresden processors, but that using copper interconnects makes processor scaling simpler"

Cirruslvr, it will be interesting to see if most PIII's a month from now are with the new stepping, or if Intel only partially switches to it. Seems to me that would violate "copy exactly" but we already know that the 1 GHz PIII's come from a separte line.
