It looks as if AMD is getting serious about launching Thoroughbred by the end of the month. As of today over in Germany, they have demonstrated a TBred core "2800+". That would be 2.2GHz for all you folks without a cheat sheet. Seems fitting as Hanover, Germany was the first place we ever saw a TBred core CPU....right about a year ago.

Here is a translation from this site.

AMD shows Hammer and Thoroughbred Publié the 14/3/2002 by TEAM Clubic AMD benefited from CeBIT to officially announce the next evolution of the Athlon processor known under the name of Thoroughbred code. The principal innovation of this processor is its smoothness of engraving in 0,13 micron which enables him to release less heat and thus to make it possible to reach higher frequencies. Visually celà results in a reduction of the size of the core. This new processor should arrive as of the end of the month, at the beginning of April at the latest on the market. We could photograph Thoroughbred 2800+ beside Athlon XP in 0,18 micron what enables you to distinguish the difference in size from the core.
