Re: Athlon 3000+ Prototype

Milo, I'm skeptical about that story, unless it's supposed to be an SOI chip - and it's awful early for SOI chips to be sampling. Intel seems to have picked up 50% in clock from .13 Aluminum to .18 and copper (copper alone seems to have benefited AMD about 20%). If that's an SOI chip, and AMD gets 30% from .18 Copper to .13 copper, and another 20% from SOI that would take them to a clock of 2.6GHZ or so.

But it seems way too soon for those to be showing up in the wild.

PS - If it is real, it would explain why Intel did such a sudden, drastic, and dramatic U-turn on SOI. But they're still 2 years behind AMD in SOI. When's the last time Intel was in single digits?

Time to change your diaper:

Faked Athlon XP 3000+

There is an image of a faked Athlon XP 3000+ floating around. I will not post to any site foolish enough to put it up and try and make money off of it.
