Joe, Re: Your guesses about Thoroughbred availability. AMD's desktop roadmap slide indicated: Q4 2001 - M2000 (Palomino) Q1 2002 - M2200 (Palomino) Q2 2002 - M2400 (Tbred/Barton) Q3 2002 - M2600 (Tbred/Barton) Q4 2002 - M3400 (Hammer) event.mediaondemand.com Now, I don't know if these slides are 100% accurate, but they seem to imply that Palomino will get to 1.8GHz. However, it also seems to imply that .13u SOI only gets Barton up to about 2.1GHz. This seems to confirm that AMD is expecting very little mileage left out of K7, even with .13u and SOI. On the other hand, Hammer seems to imply a combination of frequency and IPC performance to give a ~30% advantage. If we believe that Hammer can get a 15% improvement in frequency (clocking at about 2.4GHz), that gives an estimated 12.5% gain in IPC, which seems reasonable, given the lecture I attended at MPF. I don't know... I'm just thinking out loud, and figured that you might want to share a thought or two. wanna_bmw
