Some good news for all you speed freaks. (Myself included) It looks like AMD is about to unveil the 700mhz Athlon, and Intel is following suit with the 700mhz and 733mhz Pentium3 chips in 3 weeks. Here is a bit from news.com: (Thanks Jacek)

Speeds will increase for PCs next week when Advanced Micro Devices releases a 700-MHz version of its Athlon chip, a move that will be followed by new computers from IBM and Compaq Computer.  The new chip, expected to be announced Monday, will mean that AMD will continue to enjoy a speed and performance advantage over Intel's top chips, according to analysts and other sources. Intel won't be far behind, however; it is slated to come out with 700-MHz and 733-MHz Pentium IIIs on October 25, sources said. The fastest Pentium III now tops out at 600 MHz. Overall, Athlon achieves a higher level of performance than the Pentium III at equal speeds, leading to crisper, more realistic graphics, according to testers.
