Scumbria, In light of this article claiming that AMD is downplaying capabilities of the Mustang, do you think Intel is doing the same with the P4? I was very surprised yesterday when Intel said it would not have volume on the P4 until 2002. Is it reasonable to take this long to ramp up a new chip? Or is this Intel fud to encourage AMD compacency? What's your take on this? ____________________________________________________________ From Ace's (http://www.aceshardware.com/#N15000333) Mustang core is better than we thought.... (AMD) Posted By johan Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 3:57:32 PM There is more to Mustang than Andreas Stiller (see our previous report) thinks. AMD is, just like Intel, trying to make sure that the competition will underestimate their new upcoming CPU core. I have received confirmation from reliable sources that the AMD Mustang core has a better branch predictor and is even more optimised for clockspeed than the Thunderbird was. Cool, no? -------------------- I also asked Van Smith (Tom's Hardware) about the BPU. This is what he had to say: --------------------
