AMD Extends Performance Lead With New Athlon and Duron ProcessorOct 17, 2000 - in Reviews
You never were able to get so much processing power for so little money. AMD releases Athlon 1200, the fastest x86 processor and Duron 800, the most powerful low-cost processor that ever existed. None of the two goes for another superlative in terms of pricing.

Intel Roadmap News 10/2000: Part Two, Intel's Future Mobile and Server/Workstation ProductsOct 16, 2000 - in Reviews
Intel's recent roadmap for notebook products looks quite jolly. Already in the beginning of next year we will see the first Giga Hertz processor for mobile platforms and mobile Pentium III processors at up to 1.26 GHz will arrive soon afterwards as well. The workstation and server roadmap is not quite as interesting, except for the fact that Intel is counting a lot on 'Third Party' chipset makers to provide non-RDRAM platforms for those systems.

HOT! Update Of Intel Roadmap News!Oct 13, 2000 - in Reviews
Yesterday we published the desktop part of our latest Intel Roadmap News, but new intelligence has come in that's changing the point of view in several highly important regards. The most important and shocking message is this: Pentium 4 and Socket423 will only be a transitional product and soon replaced by 'Northwood' and Socket478!!!

Qubits and The Number 42: 12th Annual Hot Chips Conference in Palo AltoSep 1, 2000 - in Reviews
Every summer the Stanford University in Palo Alto hosts the Hot Chips Conference sponsored by the IEEE. Besides reflecting trends in the semiconductor industry, it also explores the forefront of technology. But the emphasis is always on the technical details of real chips, not on theoretical research or marketing hype.

AMD's Latest Thunderbird: SocketA Athlon at 1.1 GHzAug 28, 2000 - in Reviews
In the last 12 months we have learned that AMD's Athlon architecture is built for clock speed. In June AMD released the first Athlon with on-die second level cache for SocketA, better known under its code name 'Thunderbird'. After ramping up production AMD finally launched the latest 'Thunderbird' for 1.1 GHz clock speed. This new and powerful Athlon 1100 will actually ship now and ship in volume, which is a major difference to Intel's flaky Pentium III at 1.13 GHz.

Intel Admits Problems With Pentium III 1.13 GHz: Production and Shipments HaltedAug 28, 2000 - in Reviews
We just reported our latest bad experiences with Intel's recently released high-end processor. While I asked Intel to consider the retraction of their Pentium III 1.13 GHz processors once more, I couldn't know how close Intel was to actually do exactly that. Read the full scoop on the situation.

Latest Update On Intel's 1.13 GHz Pentium IIIAug 28, 2000 - in Reviews
You certainly remember our negative experiences with the 1.13 GHz Pentium III processor that we received for reviewing four weeks ago. We concluded that Intel should consider the retraction of this chip. In a joint venture between us, HardOCP and AnandTech we found out that three different 1.13 GHz Pentium III samples were unable to pass our Linux kernel compilation test. Other instabilities were seen as well. It seems obvious that Intel's latest chip is indeed a flawed product.

Revisiting Intel's New Pentium III at 1.13 GHzAug 1, 2000 - in Reviews
Two days ago I was supplying you with my findings and thoughts of Intel's new Super-CPU. At that time I assumed that the instability issues were caused by the lack of a micro code update. Today I received this update, but the instability remains. I also found another well-known hardware reviewer who ran into similar problems. This raises one serious question. Is Intel shipping faulty processors?

Intel's Next Paper Release: The Pentium III at 1133 MHzJul 31, 2000 - in Reviews
After the shameful defeat in the Giga Hertz race Intel is now trying to leapfrog AMD. By squeezing the last bit of performance out of the well-known Coppermine core Intel created a very fast processor. The fact that it is the most unreliable and instable CPU Intel has ever released equalizes the fact that it will hardly be available.

Overclocking AMD's Socket ProcessorsJul 11, 2000 - in Reviews
The riddle has been solved. We are proud to announce that we can now present all the right settings of the little copper bridges on the new AMD processors for each clock speed. We've also got some suggestion on how to open or close those little bridges. Overclocking Thunderbird and Duron will now be a lot easier than it used to be with Athlon and it will work on any motherboard.

The Celeron Killer: AMD's New Duron ProcessorJun 19, 2000 - in Reviews
Finally AMD has launched its low/mid range processor by the name of Duron. Its Athlon inheritance makes it very strong. In fact Duron wipes the floor with Intel's Celeron processor and gets even close to Athlon and Pentium III.

AMD's Thunderbird finally fully fledgedJun 5, 2000 - in Reviews
'Smaller and Faster' is the motto of AMD's new Athlon processor with 'Thunderbird' core. AMD's new processor is coming with 256 kB on-die and full-speed second level cache, which boosts particularly the integer performance of the new Athlon. We've put this CPU through our test suite and can tell you that we were rather pleased with the results.
