Anand reveals AMD's secret Chip. AMD's secret chip revealed Internet chip technology site AnandTech publishes benchmarks before chip is due. By Robert Lemos, ZDNN Chip technology and information site AnandTech has exposed No. 2 PC chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s next piece of silicon, the K6-3. Codenamed "Sharptooth," the chip is expected to be released in January. While most of the details of Sharptooth are public, AnandTech was the first site to publish benchmarks of the coming processor. "It looks like Anand has an OEM source that is feeding him these chips," said Tom Kehoe, an AMD (NYSE:AMD) spokesman. Kehoe would not comment on the accuracy of the benchmarks shown on the page, but said the release caused some consternation at the Sunnyvale, Calif. company. Anand Lal Shimpi -- the 16-year-old high-school student who runs AnandTech -- confirmed that the chip was sent to him by a PC maker. The review of the chip has netted the junior over 300,000 hits in the past 12 hours............. zdnet.com 206.132.42.114
