3/7/01 - Palomino speculation AMD did a presentation for an investment company yesterday, which actually didn't tell us any more than what we know now, or could have easily figured out.

The Palomino "news" is that it's supposed to go into production this quarter, and it will debut at speeds greater than 1.2Ghz.

So that means the 1.3/1.33GHz chips have to be Palominos, right? No, they may be, they may not, and I'll explain why.

We already know one code being used for the 1.3/1.33Ghz chips: AXIA. This is also a code available for the 1200Mhz TBird. It is unlikely a Palomino will share the same code as a regular TBird. Either the Palominos will have a different code, or if they don't, these AXIAs are really very early Palominos.

So the number one priority of anybody who gets a chance to look at one (which will probably be a CeBit later this month) is to look at the code printed on the chip, so we can figure out which is true.

I personally suspect we'll see both TBirds and Palominos at the 1.3/1.33 speeds. Ed

Joe
palomino supposedly designed for higher frequency so it would be sad if all the gain would be .1 or 7% over tbird-1.3
