<font color=red>Palomino 2200+ Details Confirmed We have recently received a word from our reliable source that AMD is going to launch one more processor based on the old 0.18micron Palomino core before the new 0.13micron Thoroughbred based CPUs come out. Today this info got confirmed. One of our readers (special thanks to Shaun L) sent us a picture of Athlon XP 2200+ based on the Palomino core: (pictures are on the site) This way, we are absolutely sure that very soon AMD will really announce a new Athlon XP (Palomino) with 2200+ rating. New Athlon XP will work at 1.8GHz core clock frequency and will support the same Vcore as the previous Palomino based CPUs: 1.75V. I would like to point out here that the launching of one more Palomino based processor signals us that the migration to a new Thoroughbred core is to come not that soon. However, it is evident that 1.8GHz frequency is the very top of Palomino's potential. And the next Athlon XP processors with higher working frequencies will have to use the new 0.13micron core. Proving this point the same source told us that overclocking Athlon XP 2200+ appeared nearly completely impossible and he failed to reach 1.87GHz.

Dan3: Sounds like AMD entered Athy only in the preliminary bout and won the preliminary bout early rounds so convincingly over p3 that INTC had to bring in p4 for the later rounds...AMD's entrant in the main event is the Hammer and it sounds like its only opponent will be p4, already weary from its encounters with Athy in the preliminary bout... The next "1000 days" might just introduce a new paradigm for the future as "AMD is girding up its loins for an attack on Intel's heartland, which is something it has never done before."
