Thunderbird Cometh
by Steve Gibson, Apr 09, 2000 2:46am PDTIt looks like the new AMD Thunderbird chips are getting closer. ZDNet has an article up suggesting the new CPU line could be coming out as early as the end of next month. Not only will it be sporting an on-die cache, but chances are they will even be faster than the current hot stuff 1GHz chips.
Moving level 2 cache on chip, in general, yields a performance boost of at least 10 percent... [snip] Thunderbird will also utilize copper metal interconnects..

anyone who knows an article on overclocking the spitfire?
just sorry i've hoped for that glaze3d crap, maybe it comes bundled with daikatana.
Something like this Spitfire on a DDR board @ 1.1g's with an NV15 64mb or so with 256mb of DDR? could be far nicer than my 300A@450 with a TNT1, plus I didnt blow all my cash on TNT2's, Geforces, V3's or anything else that is quicker :)

Just look at the people whom bought the first generation Athlon boards (like me). They didn't have super-bypass. The same thing is happening to the people whom got those boards when the KX-133s came out. And it'll happen again when motherboards based on AMD's 760 chipset come out... The same thing is going to happen to Intel later this fall when they release their Willamette.
Hopefully things will settle down by next Spring and we should have a fairly good idea of what is destined to be long-lasting and what is not.
Wow!

It must be a pain in the ass if you're looking to upgrade now, huh? Should you wait a little longer for prices to drop or new tech, or should you buy now and maybe regret it later? And what should you buy now? Will it be compatible with your graphics card? *$&8

Anyway.
Intel won't have any hope of regaining the performance crown until Willamette. And that performance gap will further widen when AMD releases the 760 chipset with DDR memory in the fall...
