Re: The PaloMeatHead is at least 2 quarters behind schedule - do you know what is WRONG with it? Nope. But, lucky for AMD, the new stepping for Thunderbird appears to be scaling almost as well as Palamino was expected to. So it's kind of a moot point, isn't it? What happened to the "super scalable" P4 core that was introduced at 1.5GHZ last November, and was supposed to be at 2GHZ in January. Instead it went down to 1.3GHZ. And what happened to the new D0 stepping for Coppermine? Intel was scheduled to bring back the PIII 1.13GHZ part in January, wasn't it? The new stepping seems to have improved binsplits quite a bit, but didn't do anything for the chip's top speed. And Duron is closing in on 1GHZ. PIII and P4 sure aren't scaling the way they were expected to, do you know what is wrong with them? If I bring up Itanic, would that be "piling on?" :-) Dan
