The question that must be answered is..... what is the fastest cpu speed that the infrastructure will support until the DDR boards are released in significant quantities (probably sometime well into the 1st Qtr.)?

TBird over 1.2 would be awesome news to me (however the yeild has to be at least 10% to fullfill demand) that would put that Palomino's average yeild around 1.33. But while your sources may be credible, at that speed the heat dissipation gets to P4-level, and that where the palomino is needed. If the Palo goes from 1.2 to 1.4 during Q1, AMD will do fine (i mean maintain their actual performance lead) only if they already moved virtually all (70-80%)the Dresen waffer starts, which sounds unlikely aggressive, to ponys (100 and 133 FSB part... I hope their won't be KX-133-like issues this time).

Chuck, <AMD's "leaked roadmap", 1.4 GHz TBird, etc.> Do I detect that you think there was, ahem, a certain amount of sandbagging going on last week?

I don't really care if there is a standard rollout in a week, but if Anand and others get 1.33-1.4/266 DDR TBirds or Palominos to benchmark alongside P4's, there will be half a dozen stories from ZD, Cnet, CMP Techweb and others saying that the P4 is slower in most benchmarks, starting November 21.

Chuck,

I am told by very reliable folks that 1.4G Thunderbird is in the wings. That's where the leading edge of Dresden was at the end of Q3. This is consistent with all other data points so I do not doubt its validity.

Tom had a table of Tbirds in one of his reviews that went all the way to 1.4 GHz, so your information is consistent with Tom's.

Joe
