Paul: "4 Pages of 1.3 GHz CPU vendors on Pricewatch !!!" A year ago the INTC hype was something about a 2.0 gig killer P4 to be released imminently...One year later, 4 pages of 1.3 GHz on Pricewatch, an offering that lags enormously its competitors offerings on a price/performance basis...Seems to be working backwards down from 1.5 GHz... So far the P4 seems like one huge bellyflop and given the huge gap between P4 expectations of a year ago and current anaemic offerings, one might consider a more appropriate tag as the "Pretendium 4"!!!

re:"4 Pages of 1.3 GHz CPU vendors on Pricewatch !!!" This 1.3/1.33 rollout is getting very confusing. I think its obvious that a TBird 1.3 and 1.33 do exist, based on that bootleg preview on tbreak.com Its tough to tell, but the benchmark results for that chip didn't seem very impressive, although it was only run with PC133, and at that clock speed, the Athlon is data starved on SDRAM, especialy Quake 3. On of the slides at the Morgan Stanley conference shows AMD production of both desktop and laptop Palomino in Q1 ("Prod 1Q01") Someone said laptop Pally would be on Monday 3/19 and desktop on Monday 3/26. So, what's the point of the 1.33 GHz TBird, possibly released this Monday, if a 1.33 Pally is following the next week? Will something higher than 1.33 be released? (AMDroid hopes) Are all the 1.33's and the TBREAK review really Palomino's? Was the TBREAK review designed by AMD to cast doubt on the 1Q desktop Pally introduction (by making it seem like a TBird)?
