BMW, This is the lowly Athlon. 2880 Mhz. So what happens when the same processes are applied to Hammer. Feel better about a 2 GHz Hammer on intro now?

RE"Still, availability of these parts seems to be nil. When was the last time that AMD had ZERO availability of a CPU? There is absolutely nothing on pricewatch, and this article seems to confirm a vapor launch." And Intel will announce 2.8 ghz P4 and availability will be nil too. RE:"Unfortunately, the added megahertz doesn't even allow them to outperform the Pentium 4 2.53GHz on the majority of benchmarks and applications. According to Tom's Hardware overclocking results, I don't see the 333MHz bus interface helping much, either.' P4 wins the bandwidth benches and Athlon wins the cpu intensive benchmarks. RE:"Unfortunately, AMD has to get to Barton, at least, for the extra L2 cache, but more realistically, and given the headroom that Intel has left in the Pentium 4, AMD needs to "get to Hammer". Other than that, I don't see any short term advantage for AMD." Forget Barton. they need Hammer. Barton is nothing more than a K6-III. On the other hand, the new headroom afforded athlon is impressive.
