By looking at <A HREF="http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_608,00.html" target="_new">AMD's CPU roadmap</A>, it appears that AMD has plans to continue the XP line of processors well into 2005.
I thought AMD was about to stop enhancing this line with the introduction of a 3400+ or something later this year (Paris core I guess). Anyone knows the scoop on the Palermo core, beside its 90nm SOI process?

. And it will be sold under the Sempron brand name. Palermo is probably not much more as a 90nm shrink of the same cpu. Don't read too much into the fact those products are on the same "athlon xp" line, its just "low end desktop". AMD even sold a handfull of low clocked AMD64 chips with 64 bit disabled an inflated PR ratings as "Athlon XP"s for use in HP laptops. I think AMD has been wondering what to do with its value lines: keep the Athlon XP name, move them to the Duron brand, but has now settled on the Sempron name instead to ensure that "Athlon" is only used for highend products. Hence, all the confusion.
