milo,

I agree with you. I think today would be a good time to sell my Intel holdings and buy more AMD. I thought Groves would make some changes after a year of Intel's current direction, but it looks like he is supporting it.

Athlon has got some ****NEW**** thermalproperties;

From 900 to 1000 the Wattage increased 4.1 W (pretty standard from other 100 MHz jumps)
From 1000 to 1100 the Wattage increased *****0.8 W******

This means that AMD has either been sandbagging or the process is getting a ton better. No wonder the talk of 1.2 1.3 1.4.....

CHECK THE LINK UNDER SECTION 5 OR "THEMAL DESIGN"

amd.com

Intel isn't paranoid enough.

1100Mhz possibly has some core changes?

Well ... I don't know what ANY of that means, but just by your enthusiasm I take it as great news and I'm amped! :~P

Once again, it sounds like AMD Athy binsplits from the state of the art Dresden fab are averaging about 300 MHz higher than INTC's PWeeIII's...If true, I don't know how much longer the INTC PR machine will be successful in masking this fundamentally significant production difference...Certainly, the difference in microprocessor operational earnings growth in recent quarters would seem to reinforce the possibility of the existence of such a fundamentally significant difference in "real world" production capabilities...

Milo,

Don't get too excited just yet. Jerry stated that all 1.1 Ghz processors and most of the 1.0 Ghz processors are built using the copper process. So, the power specs up to 1.0 Ghz include the higher power Al cores from Austin. The small power increment to 1.1 Ghz indicates that the Dresden process is lower power than the Austin process -- nothing more. But, we already knew this.

Pravin.
