Dear Thread:

On a brighter note, Anandtech ( anandtech.com ) has a database server comparison between Athlon MP 2100+ and P4 Xeon 2.4GHz. Needless to say, the Xeon gets kicked in all three tests based on performance/price and absolutely kicked in the hardest test, the Forums database.

Tim, Re: "When do you think AMD will start selling Bartons?"

I've yet to hear of Barton specifically featured in any recent business updates from AMD. Not even a hint. IMO, Barton hype should exceed Clawhammer hype at this point, or buyers will be uninterested. If this continues, AMD could have a big problem failing to meet hyped up K8 demand as they ramp up Hammer, while simultaneously failing to get rid of their excess K7 chips that nobody wants.

Tim,

When do you think AMD will start selling Bartons?

I suspect it will be in Q4, but I hope it will be earlier. I have seen info somewhere that samples are available.

Based on this slide, it looks like it will be in Q4, when AMD is supposed to introduce 2800 rated CPU. I doubt Tbred will ever match a 2.8 GHz NW, but Barton probably can.
