AMD is getting ready to announce their spanking new 1.4GHz chip at the upcoming trade show in Computex happening in Taiwan. More than likely the chip will be slightly faster than current chips and go for a slightly higher price. It's a new CPU.

Athlon4 Mobile Chip

by Maarten Goldstein May 14, 2001 9:01am CST tags: AMD
AMD is launching the Athlon 4 today, as a mobile chip to compete with Intel. The Athlon 4 will be launched at 1Ghz, and the new Duron will be running at 850mhz. The Athlon4 1Ghz will just be $425 compared to Intel's $722 for a 1GHz Pentium3, so hopefully we should see cheaper, faster notebooks. AnandTech has also posted a review of the thing and of course he gives us the skinny on the new technology involved.

AMD Clawhammer - Size Matters?

by Steve Gibson Apr 27, 2001 11:40am CST tags: AMD
A few people have pointed the way to this article on CNET with word that AMD's next-gen CPU will be about the same size as their current ones. Which doesnt sound surprising by itself but when you look at the Intel P4 which doubled in size compared to their P3 then you might say "coolbeans?"

If you're thinking about upgrading your AMD processor, just wait a little while longer as AMD will be cutting prices come April 30. Although there's no new price info the cuts will probably shave a good amount off from the current price.

Next AMD Chip in June

by Steve Gibson Mar 25, 2001 2:40pm CST tags: AMD
AMD is hard at work on their next-gen CPU as they have been for quite a while. Guess what though, it's getting close! The Palomino CPU will show up in mobile units first, and then hit the desktops at 1.5GHz and move on from there.

The Palomino core will first make its appearance in the 1GHz mobile version, which will ship in major notebook makers' products starting in June. [...] The changes between current processors and the Palomino design mainly center on refinements to the limiting components of the pipeline, which will allow it to be introduced at 1.5GHz and go up from there.

Cool, June isnt that far away is it?
