| AMD 2700+ - Porcupine (21/08/2002 8:13:04 PM) |
The AMD 2100+ has come down $100. The AMD 2200+ is now selling about Brisbane, and AMD have just released their Athlon XP 2400+ and 2600+! See the review on amdmb.com.
Apparently AMD's new CPUs are hideously overclockable, if you're into torturing your chips that way. Overclocking gets 300 frames per second in Quake 3 with everything on!
Yes, it kicks anything INTEL has out now. I'm guessing the response from INTEL should be reasonably swift, however expensive. We should get 3GHz CPUs before the year is out.
And the response was very swift. Intel have released their P4 2.8GHz for uber$, which some monkey used liquid nitrogen to get to 3.9GHz, reading the page I think the CPU went "raja rikki" at 4.3GHz.
AMD responded straight back by announcing the 2700+ to be released in mid October 2002.
Effectively, right now (1 September 2002) the fastest you can get is the Pentium 2.4GHz or the AMD 2200+. However, Game Dude is taking orders for Pentium 3.0GHz (which nobody else even seems to know exists - not even on the Intel site) and AMD 2600+.
