Petz: This 1.3/1.33 rollout is getting very confusing.

...

Will something higher than 1.33 be released? (AMDroid hopes)
Are all the 1.33's and the TBREAK review really Palomino's?


There is another, interesting possibility: AMD has chosen to differentiate the Palomino name-wise. Athlon+ or something... The changes from Tbird to Palomino would certainly warrant it if some of the more persistent rumors are to be believed:

- SSE
- PowerNow! (known)
- Hardware prefetching
- Lower power consumption
- Cache enhancements
- TLB enhancements
- Predictor enhancements

Was the TBREAK review designed by AMD to cast doubt on the 1Q desktop Pally introduction (by making it seem like a TBird)?"

Ye, yes, no and yes.
