According to both Monarch Computers and Athlonxp.com, the XP1900+ is now shipping in limited quantities to vendors in preparation for the official release announcement sometime next week (probably the same time AMD and nVidia officially release nForce with board availability.

XP1900+ should perform roughly equivalent to between a 2.1ghzP4 and 2.2ghz P4. This is scheduled to be the last speed increase for Athlon until next year.

Should be interesting!

In other news...

AMD announced it will include a freon cooling unit with the retail Athlon XP 1900+.

Seriously, it should be interesting to see how much the heat increase is from model to model. Has anyone ever seen a review that showed heat progression of each CPU?

Well, Athlon is about the same temp in the core as P4 unless overclocked, so I wouldn't be overly concerned. XP1900 is likely about 10% cooler than Athlon T-bird 1.4.

It will be cooler than a 2GHz P4.

Actually all they have to do is drop the die size again and that will drop the heat. Or they could redesign the core.

LOL any P4 run 5 to 10 celcius lower that any PAL or t-bird it been alwayse like that.Me P4 1.7 run at 46 celcius with retail fan (3200) and retail HSF and no case fan (not for long).

Juin, 46oC is ok, but my overclocked Athlon has lower temps. I get around 42oC idle nad 48oC full load.

Until you <b>actually</b> run AMD's, you shouldn't have made any <b><font color=red>false</b></font color=red> comment like this. My KG7-RAID with TB1000@1333MHz is running cooler than your P4(~42C, at full load ~48C)!
BTW, I'm using Volcano 5 that costed me 10 bucks!

Hmmm...why don't we ask that question in <A HREF="http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=246848" target="_new">HardOCP's Intel heartland</A>, where every comment is bound to be in favor of Intel...

I especially love quotes like this:

Quote :

1.5 GHz P4 @1982 is 38c idle and 58c load. that's with the regular heatsink and arctic silver 2


58C? My T-bird never goes over 51C. The fastest Athlon (the XP 1800) runs even cooler while outperforming any P4 currently in production. :tongue:

Quote :

I have a 1.7 Ghz P4 and Abit TH7-II at 1938 Mhz now (1.9 V set in the BIOS), and the hardware monitor shows about 42 C idle. Goes up to about 57 under load.


Oh, only at 1.7GHz? My T-bird runs cooler and faster than that...

Quote :

With 1.75V, mine runs about 33C idle, all the way up to near 60C during full load. And, I *know* I've got good cooling for my case.


Aww, another P4 "success story!" Be glad it has thermal protection, cos it needs that protection more than any T-bird in existence. :wink:

Quote :

wow, from the looks of that chart, Intel procs past 1.7 ghz-ish run hotter than the Thuderbirds (1.4 ghz).


The truth is revealed! RoFL LOL :lol:

so what is the real mhz rating of the 1900+, not the 'lets confuse consumers' rating

1.6GHz, I believe, but it should perform similarly to a 2.2GHz P4 and a 1.9GHz Athlon (T-bird).

He said he was running a Volcano 5. It is very possible. Without any overclocking (CPU and graphics), my temps are in the 30s but I'm using 2 cases a 2-fan Enermax Whisper, and a GlobalWin WBK-38.

1.609ghz actually, I think ;)

So what is the real performance of that 2ghz P4 Juin?

Oh!! similar to 1.5ghz P3? or 1.4ghz Athlon
hmmm... 2ghz doesn't sound like such a deal now and 1.6ghz (XP1900+) is looking better all the time in comparison.

My poiunt.. don't be trolling silly questions like that Juin. It demeans you.

actually we were talking about energy output as heat... not temperature... subtly different things.

and the pentium 4 DOES put out more thermal energy than equivalent athlons.
its just that with the large heatspreader its able to dissapate it better.




Is that a Northwoody in your pocket or are you just eXPited to see me?

Reply to lhgpoobaa

Not much though. Some people are speculating that the P4 would get better cooling <i>without</i> the heat spreader. All I know is that even <i>with</i> the heat spreader, the P4s are generally reported to run hotter than equivalent Athlons.

hey brent...
the XP 1800+ puts out a max of 66W of energy, same as the athlon 1200C, well below the 72W for the athlon 1.4. so the 1900+ is still well below the athlon 1.4... and amd could proly get another 2 speed grades out of it before thermal output exceeds the athlon 1.4

i did a another thread on it today, in the CPU room

Most likely AMD sent it to him.

No idea. 1x00+ sounds more like a PR rating.

Can't you read? It is air-cooled HSF <b>Volcano 5</b> (with 4500RPM Fan) or you know some water cooling devices sell for 10 bucks!

i think the 1x00+ is just code for whatever comes next... ie the 1900+

A little less than the 1.33ghz tbird.

doing the math... from the electrical specification table: (full load wattages used)
athie 1.4 = 72W
xp 1500+ = 60W
xp 1600+ = 62.8W
xp 1700+ = 64W
xp 1800+ = 66W
therefore:
xp 1900+ ~ 68W
xp 2000+ ~ 70W
xp 2100+ ~ 72W

course these are approximations... dont think the relationship is quite linear, think its a bit exponential.
