[orbz]

I read this in the inquirer and heres the link to the japanese website: <A HREF="http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba/hotline/20011208/etc_athlongreen.html" target="_new">http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba/hotline/20011208/etc_athlongreen.html</A>.

It looks just like the P3. So is this new green packaging better then the brown packaging? Maybe lower temps.

Where have you been? It's been on the market for quite a while now! It's less brittle than the old ceramic pin grid.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

I've been around here and there. The green organic AXP hasn't been out that long.

AMD Shifts to Green Organic Packaging
"Following up on a story today at Mike Magee’s the inquirer, we contacted AMD to find out more about the new green organic Athlon XP packages that are showing up in Japan. AMD spokesman Damon Muzny informed us that all AMD organic packages will be green by the first half of next year. Although there are no functional or cost differences with this switch, Muzny suggested that the move is based on aesthetics: green is AMD’s color."

well we know that green is organic and different from the old blue ceramic.

but how does green differ from brown?
(beside the obvious for all u smartasses out there)

Excuse me for a moment. I need to drive my ergonomic wheely chair over a sheet of bubble wrap!

It's a different color. On the RGB scale, pure green is 0,255,0. Brown is a mix of both. It's more like 153,51,0.

NOS and a <font color=red> Ferrari </font color=red> can be fun!

*sigh*
i know im in the company of friends... my enemies wouldnt be this sarcastic! lol

well a green color makes the chip look more christmassy. Now if only they gave it a red core! That would look like a christmas ornament. Cos after you burn up the thing thats pretty much what it'll be used for. lol sorry cheap shot lol.

why would any company color anything brown? it looks like a fuct up turd an alien plopped!

agree, btw you can't even see the cpu under the big HSF

but i thought it was better, guess not

 

[lhgpoobaa]

yep... they could have hadded some red die,
turning the brown chip into a nice brick red colour.
whack a black anodised HSF on top and get a red mobo... bingo, colour coordination!

what i'm thinking is the cpu is green and make the core red! that would make it look really cool!
