2/7/01 - Improvement on the sly? The more recent reports on AMD overclocking in our database seem to show that people are reaching higher speeds than available even two months ago. People are getting to 1.35-1.4Ghz with high-end air. I checked through the AMD techdocs, and noticed one small difference between the 1100 and 1200 specs and the others. The 1100 and 1200 have a temperature reading of 95C, while the others have a reading of 90C. This might mean these chips are made a little differently. If you've recently bought a 1Ghz or better TBird, and can give me both of the following: The first two lines of code printed on your CPU and How far you've overclocked with it Please send me a note so I can try to decipher what's going on here. I really need the codes for this one, folks. Ed overclockers.com They also have a link to AMD Zone for an AMD price list for March 5.2001 amdzone.com Conclusion? If you're just waiting for some big price drop sometime soon before you buy, stop. Since the December cuts, AMD is running on a fairly flat pricing slope; you aren't going to see big price cuts from them because they aren't charging much to begin with. Only way that changes is if AMD can't sell its chips (looks more like the opposite), or Intel goes out of its mind. Don't count on either. Ed
