Win, I would say a vey disappointing launch. AMD clearly lied when they said palomino's shipping in volume in Q1. Volumes are clearly LOW - as evidenced by 1 OEM launch, no samples for reviewers etc. Morgans don't even exist - just crippled Pally's right now. The MHZ ramp is not too encouraging either. regards, Kash

Anand apparently has taken the chip out of a Compaq notebook, just to verify AMD's performance claims. There is this exchange at forums.anandtech.com viahardware, Junior Member: You can take the mobile chip and put it in a desktop, for that matter. Its still Socket A. Tomorrow, post a suite of benchmarks, and tell AMD you got the chip out of a Compaq laptop =P Anand Lal Shimpi: to viahardware Yes you can, and I have. There are some performance issues on some motherboards, I'm still waiting for updated BIOSes. The one board that it has proper BIOS support from I really can't benchmark with until later. It won't be too much longer, a couple more weeks and all the benchmarks you could ever want will be published. Now, perhaps, Anand didn't pull his chip from a notebook but ran his unpublished benchmarks on a chip AMD gave him, but that would contradict Dr. Tom. And I suspect that "two weeks" is when the server version will launch along with the beefy 760MP motherboard whose name escapes me right now. Petz
