Mike Magee takes sabbatical theregister.co.uk Mike returns to us in the New Year. In the mean-time, if you want to catch him on personal matters, email him at ac70@cityscape.co.uk Unfortunately, in his absence, his beat seems to have been taken over by his evil twin Andrew Thomas, who seems to be going for the Intel suckup of the year title. From one of his stories today: The general consensus, shared by The Reg, is that Intel's P6 core, first introduced with the Pentium Pro when dinosaurs ruled the world, has a usable performance ceiling of around 1.2GHz when built using a 180nm process. Followed by: The same pundits reckon that the Thunderbird Athlons, being a tad newer than PIII, should be good for perhaps 1.5GHz - a speed AMD says will ship in Q1 next year. Unless AMD has something really cool - literally - up its sleeve, it's hard to see how the thermals of a 180nm Athlon running at 1.7GHz can be reliably and economically controlled. Maybe we should start a letter writing campaign. Mike, we hardly knew ye. Cheers, Dan.
