Peter, Re: Didn't AMD when releasing the Thunderbird introduce different voltages for the lower speed and the higher speed parts? No, all Thunderbirds run with 1.75V core voltage right from the start. AMD only had to raise the voltage with the classic Athlon to get to 1 GHz first. And I think you are the best evidence that even at 1.3 GHz no voltage hike is required. ;-) Andreas

Peter - Re: "Didn't AMD when releasing the Thunderbird introduce different voltages for the lower speed and the higher speed parts? Applying the same logic couldn't it be argued that AMD was desperate with the Thunderbird right from the beginning?" Not so loud !!! The ThumperTurd needs 1.75 volts to run at 1,2 GHz. That is OK - trhat is fine - that is perfect - it is AMD ! If the Pentium 4 needs to be hiked from 1.70 all the friggin' way to 1.75 volts to reach 1.7 GHz, then clearly, the wheells are falling off the chassis over at Intel. Note: 1.75 = GOOD (AMD) Note: 1.75 = BAD (Intel) AMD Pretzel Logic.
