Dan, Re: "But Palomino has trouble getting past 2.2GHZ submerged in LN2 - so the "dumb shrink" of a CPU "already using .13 transistors" is definitely running much faster than its predecessor."

AMD has a model 2800+ planned for the fourth quarter of the year. I am sure that it's within their capabilities to achieve this goal. I was merely wondering how close they are to getting that level of performance today. If their .13u process is already yielding chips that can run at 2.2GHz, that is good. If they need "exotic" cooling, that is not nearly as impressive, as I'm sure you already know.

Re "2800" XP-Quant, nothing has shown up yet that they demonstrated it by running it, at any speed. Just the one French site said that they showed it, or showcasted it, and they had a picture. Nothing from Magee, who's usually all over these things. No posts on any of the message boards about it since this morning. Nothing on AMD's website. Bogus?
