milo: AMD has never before had such a strong product lineup across all performance ranges and with 2 years of Athy success under its belt is now the seasoned competitor in the microprocessor arena...P4 remains unproven by comparison and, 2 years out, in the face of the XP wave, might find itself relegated to the museum shelf...

Milo, Re: "Dual Duron MP" article from Firing Squad From article: However, AMD has locked the Athlon XP so that it will not operate in SMP mode; other than the lock, the Athlon XP is identical to the Athlon MP. The Duron MP on the other hand is an interesting processor in a unique situation. I haven't seen any other indication that the Athlon XP has been "locked" to prevent SMP mode. I am also confused about the Duron MP - I thought all the 1GHz Durons were Morgans (Palomino based cores). Nice article otherwise and I requested some clarification from the author on the above questions. I also looked at AMD's web site and they list only 3 speeds of Durons 950/1000/1100 on the official price list (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_609,00.html) and the roadmap (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_608,00.html) places Morgans as value "server/workstation" chips and Durons in 4Q01 as having "3DNow! Professional" which is the naming for the full SSE implementation yet keeping the 200MHz FSB. Does this mean the "classic" Durons (non-Palomino core) will be phased out this quarter and what will be the difference between a Duron and a Morgan? Are Morgans SMP enabled or tested? Maybe I missed something or just need some sleep. <g> -PT
