AMD's Palomino processors will launch on 9 October.

Now called the Athlon XP, it will come in 4 speeds - the XP 1500 plus, XP
1600 plus, XP 1700 plus and XP 1800 plus.

Prices to OEMs are $115, $124, $152 and $210 respectively, but may vary
depending on volume.

The clock speeds of the chips are:
a.. XP 1500 - 1.33GHz

b.. XP 1600 - 1.4GHz

c.. XP 1700 - 1.47GHz

d.. XP 1800 - 1.53GHz


AMD has given the Palominos their 1500 plus etc. names, and not used the
clock speeds of the processors, to move away from direct comparisons with
Intel processor speeds. Or to be more precise, it's given them names to
suggest faster clock speeds than they've got, based on their rule of thumb
that AMD processors match or beat the performance of Intel processors which
are 300MHz faster.

For example, AMD says an XP 1800 plus, which runs at 1.53GHz, would perform
as well as a 1.83GHz Intel chip - hence, that's why it's called an 1800
plus.

To get this idea across, the Athlon XPs will be sold using the marketing
jargon - quantispeed technology. System builders have been warned not to
mention the actual clock speeds of the chips, but to talk of quantispeed
processors, to suggest they're turbocharged. ®

ikke så dyrt, selvom det er OEM priser, avancen på CPU´er er ikke såå stor,
så mon ikke en 1.4´er holder sig omkring 12-1300 kr......for øvrigt ret
latterligt med de AMD navne istedet for frekvensen !

Både ja og nej. Den almindelige forbruger tror jo pr. definitation, at den
processor der har

nødt til at markedsføre deres årocessor på den måde.

Er det en ny platform ? evt kompatibel med socket A MB.
Næppe - eller hvad?

Jo det er vel bare MP Processorerne der nu hedder XP - altså Athlons
forbedret i multiprocessor interfacet og et lidt lavere effekt forbrug (jeg
har læst om 15 %).

den er optimeret lidt hist og her med bl.a. SSE, har indbygget
temperatur-føler (endelig), og bliver ikke så varm som Thunderbird´en. Den
er *ikke* multiprocessor ligesom Athlon MP svjv. - det er to 'forskellige'
modeller.
