It states:
Other interesting rumors are coming from Taiwan saying that AMD already has processors clocked at 2.4 GHz - note that this architecture will very likely start at 1.8 GHz (for Athlon 64). That is why, they do have some reserve for future.
AMD is also said to develop a new revision supporting the DDR II apart from the DDR SDRAM. Well, I welcome this ides
Especially because such architecture would benefit from the accelerated memory.
They also buzzing about Opteron processors with 4 Hyper Transport buses. But maybe such processors will never get to the retail market though one could use them to make 4-, 8- and more processor machines.
Over 400 Athlon 64 based systems are now in different companies. Over 130 2- and 4-processor systems on the Opteron are currently tested by over 120 companies. Well, at least it shows that this architecture is interesting and that AMD doesn't need to supply samples of the new processor.
ALSO LOOK AT THIS SPECINT PERFORMANCE (presumably %)
