Tattletale whiner, AMD extends award-winning AMD Athlon(TM) XP processor brand to mobile lineup, transitions to 0.13-micron technology Epson Direct, Packard Bell and Sharp. Woohoo. PB probably the worst name in personal computer history. Where are HP and Compaq?

Milo, AMD finally getting their .13u process off the ground is the best news I've heard from them all year. Even though it is just mobile right now, and even though it falls short of expectations for frequency, it's a start. I'm also ecstatic that they dumped the Athlon 4 brand, and stuck with Athlon XP. It may not be any better, but at least it's consistent with the desktop, and that's important in terms of building a brand name. I'll be tuning into the conference call tomorrow for more information. wbmw P.S. Here's a link to their original roadmap for Mobile Athlon. It shows that a 1900+ was originally expected this quarter. Now only a 1700+ is planned, which is not too impressive, given that Palomino reached 1600+ last month. I'll be interested in seeing if they have plans to improve this over the life of the process, since this even falls short of my lowered expectations. home.attbi.com

Let me pull some excerpts from this one... Systems featuring the mobile AMD Athlon XP processor are expected to be available from Sharp Corporation in Japan. Scheduled to ship in early May, the new processor will be included in Sharp's Mebius PC-GP1-C7H A4-size all-in-one notebooks with a 15`` LCD screen. "Expected from Sharp..." "Scheduled to ship in early May..." So it's STILL not out yet... Production shipments of the mobile AMD Athlon XP processors, including models 1400+ and 1500+, began in first quarter of 2002. Notebook PCs based on the mobile AMD Athlon XP processor, models 1600+ and 1700+, are expected to be available later this quarter. Now this is just bass ackwards... why are they only shipping 1400+ and 1500+ parts on a brand new process? Also were still in the future perfect tense for the 1600+ and 1700+... This does NOT increase my confidence in AMD's manufacturing capability... especially coming a year after Intel moved the Tualatin over to an analogous process...
