It should be noted, that as we expected before, AMD will announce just mobile Thoroughbred based Athlon 4 in the end of March. Desktop Athlon XP with the new 0.13-micron core will appear only in the end of spring/beginning of summer. If true them AMD is essentially slipping TB desktop out to the end of Q2! What are they going to do with all those .13u parts they made and stockpiled in Q4? EP

Hi pAUL, Just saw the new Intel P4 commercial on "Enterprise" I don't know which was worse, the AMD stopping a train wreck or the Intel aliens almost crashing into an asteroid. What did Intel do? Hire AMD's advertising agency? Bunch of maroons. Steve

Re: According to AMD reports, first Athlon XP (Thoroughbred) will have a 2400+ rating. Besides, two slower Thoroughbred models with 2200+ and 2000+ ratings will be released. So AMD, in moving to .13, is back to matching Intel's performance ratings - and, no doubt, beating it in actual performance on real software. Well, Intel was ahead for a few months. It's a lot like 1999, when Intel moved to .18 a little ahead of AMD, and coppermine did pretty well for Intel - for a few months. Then AMD finished its shift to .13, and Intel was back to being behind in the performance race. Deja Vu all over again, eh?
