Jim, Re: "Impossible, everyone knows AMD will never get to .13u much less have a chip to take a picture of... That pic must be fake..." How right you are.... hardocp.com "The next desktop CPU we will see from AMD is code named "Thoroughbred" and while it will not incorporate any new technology as far as how it handles instructions, it does have the die shrink working for it which will mean higher core speeds and possible better OCing. Here are a few pics of the Thoroughbred core. It is 80mm² in size and much smaller than the current Palomino core. This should equate to AMD being able to get 300 dies from one wafer lowering their production cost by a pretty good margin. These Thoroughbred pics are not of a working part but will give you an idea of what they will look like. It is just a tad smaller than the TBird cores we are used to seeing." wanna_bmw
