AMD on 1GHz

by Steve Gibson Feb 03, 2000 1:32pm CST tags: AMD
Well we all know Intel is having shall we say a tad bit of problems getting out any CPUs that are even 800mhz lately, and they are of course planning on showing off the 1GHz P3 CPU in 2 weeks. JC's PCNews got a quote from an 'undisclosed' AMD rep on how AMD is reacting to all this: (Thanks Zaknafein)

"Fab 25 could ship 1 GHZ parts at any time the marketing department wants to introduce them (note, these are not Cu, but Al interconnects!). Currently there is no incentive for AMD to do this because Intel is falling all over themselves trying (and failing) to meet 800 MHZ demand".
