AMDZone reports on new nForce SouthBridges:

nForcersHQ.com has discovered that, this fall nVidia will add two parts to the nForce2 MCP family:

1. MCP-S adds serial ATA to MCP, as well as 2 additional USB2.0 ports (8 total) and some commercial networking features.

2. MCP-S with Gigabit Ethernet has all of the features of MCP-S, but the networking support will include a 10/100/1000 MAC instead of 10/100.

The existing nForce2 MCP and MCP-T parts, already the most feature-rich for customers today, will continue to be available. Both versions of MCP-S will sample in 2Q, with production and volume availability in 3Q.

re: "Perhaps Intel's new theme song should be 'OOPS, I did it again.' "

It is an ongoing amazement to me how unforgiving many who post here are to very understandable delays on the part of AMD; while, far more profound stumbles on the part of inteL are accepted as par.

The onslaught that AMD is engineering against inteL would look to be amazing in its overwhelming scope and military-like precision. The real "surprize", however, may be in earlier profitability than anyone (except moi) may be expecting. If I am correct, AMD will have to feel compelled to update guidance within about three weeks. I have purchased some popcorn (and some additional AMD common) and found a comfortable (though, admittedly, very nervous) spot on the sidelines to view the spectacle as it unfolds.

re: "Intel's strategic folks are just too hardware oriented"

That is what craiG barreT is and his highly myopic view of the world should be no surprise at all.

Dear Dan3:

Excited to hear that the April 22 will not be a "Paper" launch by any stretch of the imagination. They may actually ship some Opterons in Q1. Great news.

Pete

Barton 3000+ and 2500+ for sale in Akiba:

watch.impress.co.jp

Here's the Englishish autotranslated text:

< February 22nd of 2003 number >
Athlon XP 3000+ of series most significant model with bulk sale
Most fast model of Barton core adoption, as for actual sale price 7 ten thousand Yen levels

It followed to the 2800+ which last week appears, the most significant model 3000+ of the Athlon XP which adopts the Barton core finally decorated debut. As for it starts arriving with the bulk item, as for actual sale price 73,980 Yen - 75,999 Yen (as for details thing " of the new product reference which this week is found").
Furthermore, also the Athlon XP 2500+ which adopts the same Barton core has started arriving simultaneously. As for actual sale price 24,980 Yen (as for details thing " of the new product reference which this week is found").

- Series most significant model

The OPN " AXDA3000DKV4D " empty it is recorded on the CPU surface of the Athlon XP 3000+ as for main specification of Athlon XP 3000+ which can be grasped, the operational clock the 2,167mHz and operating voltage the 1.65v and secondary cache capacity the 512KB and the FSB clock the 333mHz. The operational clock is the same as the 2700+ of the Thoroughbred core, but the amount model number which cash capacity redoubles from the 256KB " 300 " has become high. This is similar to the relationship between the 2800+ of the Barton core and the FSB 333mHz edition 2600+ of the Thoroughbred core.

In addition, maximum value of the Thermal POWER with the 74.3w, the 2100+ of the Palomino core (the 72.0W) has reached very is exceeded high numerical value. Simply, as for standard value of the Thermal POWER same the 58.4w and as for this way as the 2800+ moderate. This numerical value, the 1800+ of the Thoroughbred core (the 61.7w) being lower ones, the 2800+ similarly is low when loading and the calorific value in the time of idling little it may be able to expect.

- 7 ten thousand Yen levels and being expensive is difficult point

Concerning the motherboard, also the manufacturer which releases the update BIOS for the existing model which sings 3000+ support clearly has appeared, correspondence is advancing. The user of the Socket A motherboard would like to leave, before the CPU purchasing without forgetting the manufacturer Web sight and the like, checking.

Because you adopt the up-to-date Barton core, at the same time become the most significant model of the Athlon XP becoming the cynosure original user the 3000+ which you do not make a mistake. It is very expensive, as the Athlon XP where height of cost performance is one of the gourds, but in " the first product of the season " just the place there is no manner perhaps this
