i herd that it will be 30% cooler then the tbird is this true? i looked at aces and didnt see anything about that

In about 20 days, I'll be at the AMD conference and will post any info that I recieve. If anyone has any questions they'd like to ask about anything AMD, I'll pass them along and let people know.

I don't think those have been confirmed, as I've heard from A LOT of other places that it will have isotopically pure silicon...... let's wait and see, I guess.

I understand where you're coming from Griz, but Ace's is a premier hardware site (along with Anand's, Sharkey's and Tom's), so they are (usually) very responsible in their reporting.
does aces reveal their sources? where do they get there info from? same place we do, gossip? give us the link to the almighty aces so we can check this out.
Not (that wouldn't be responsible reporting)! They got that info. during an interview with AMD's Head of Public Relations in Central Europe.
FYI, here's a recent release from The Register...
<i>AMD Palomino to debut at 1.53GHz
By: Tony Smith
Posted: 09/04/2001 at 11:18 GMT
AMD's Thunderbird Athlon core will be taken to 1.5GHz over the coming months, with a part at that speed and another at 1.4GHz to fill the gap between the top-of-the-line chip and the current 1.3GHz Athlon.
That's what German site Planet3DNow! has claimed, according to an English translation over at the VR-Zone.
With Intel's P4 already running at 1.5GHz and the 1.7GHz part coming in a couple of weeks, it's no wonder AMD wants to accelerate its own efforts.
The arrival of the 1.5GHz Thunderbird Athlon paves the way for 1.53GHz, 1.6GHz and 1.67GHz parts based on the Palomino core, which was due to have shipped by now, but now won't arrive until Q3.
Morgan - the new Duron core - is set to ship in the same timeframe, at 950MHz.
Palomino will support enhanced branch-prediction unit and hardware-prefetching, the site reports. It estimates the die size at 150mm2, containing 46 million transistors. Palomino will be fabbed in Dresden and copper interconnect technology. Morgan will be fabbed in Austin, but use aluminium interconnects. Support for Intel's SSE2 instructions haven't made the cut, apparently. ®</i>
You are the stupidest person I have ever seen. If you would have READ THE WORDS, and yes that's what those are, you're supposed to read them, you would UNDERSTAND (if that's possible in the first place).

LOL Meltdown, do you even own an Intel product? You scream and yell about how AMD sucks, but you never say anything about your awesome Intel system. What's wrong with the picture here?
Err, ok yeah. Hmmm, guess that counts for Intel too then huh? What about the fact it is going into laptops this quarter? Face it muffin head, its a done deal.
If it runs without a heatsink, then there's some limiting going on. So if you're not cooling it enough, you'll never get the full power of the processor (which was the point of my last post).
Whether or not it's true, if you can run the proc. without a heatsink, there's a catch in there somewhere. A multimeter hooked up to the 3.3v and 5v rails would answer that question in a couple of seconds.....
Ncogneto:
Would you please tell me where you got that '20-25 watts' from (are you talking about about the Palomino)? Last I read, the 1.53MHz Palomino will consume just about the same power as a 1.33MHz T-bird. So if you have a link to confirm your statement, I would really like to see it!
Well the palomino will have AMD PowerNOW! the Current Durons and K6-2 notebooks use them. When the Notebook is doing nonthing it lowers the the CPU clock down 100 or 200 mhz. To save battery life.
the 2.0ghz northwood p4 will use around 35w - 50w i hear. Its all copper and .13 micron
