Unlike the previous Comdex, this time, AMD seems to have its mouth sealed. I still remember the last Comdex, AMD shown the air-cooled Thunderbird, but why all of a sudden, AMD seems to be so quiet about its Roadmap?
Something fishy must be going on. First, about the 0.13 micron migration, they are totally relying on Intel's 0.13 micron process paper launch? Wow man, I hope they buy insurance on that.
Secondly, no further explaination about Palomino lower power consumption? Are they still talking about the PowerNow! feature?
No further information about better branch prediction? Or is it because some of the capable engineer has left AMD? No one working on it now?
1.5 Ghz in a closed box? Who can't say it is actually a Thunderbird with a screen saver saying it is 1498 Mhz Athlon??
AMD 760 MP again in a close box??? Who can't say it is a Abit BP6 with two Celeron in it?? Whats wrong to AMD?
Clawhammer one or two core? What is seriously wrong with AMD??
I really hope the few very capable CPU architects that have left AMD a few months ago is not giving AMD a hard time. They seems to be keeping everything secret.... which makes me think something fishy is going on.
First, the withdrawal of Mustang, and now the Comdex.
It seems that there is nothing very new that AMD can offer us in 2001. They seems to push all of the promise to 2002. Which makes them a year behind. I sincerely wish them good luck in whatever they are doing.
