Hammer Mainboards ahead of Schedule! Posted 6/22/02 at 10:32 pm by Rat The Japanese stores, which are known for being the first ones in the world to start selling early products, were noticed showing two new MSI mainboards for the not yet announced ClawHammer processor from AMD. These mainboards are working samples and will not be sold. They are simply demonstrated as some kind of fetishes in the so called “future technology museum”. The mainboards are called K8A Gem (MS-6589) and K8H Gem (MS-6702). The first one uses a chipset developed by AMD, AMD-8000, and the second one is based on VIA Technologies K8HTA core logic..... ....So, MSI seems to be ready for the coming of His Majesty ClawHammer. I wonder how soon the other mainboard makers will be ready for that, especially bearing in mind that there is still a lot of time left before the official launch. However, this quickness of MSI’s is very pleasing and indicates how seriously MSI takes ClawHammer. As soon as AMD launches the CPU, there will be a place to install it already :) More is at: xbitlabs.com
