Yep thats right AMD have struck a deal with Hitachi to supply them with the NEW Small Form Factor (SFF) Athlon XP's (1.3Ghz) for their 'Flora 330 silent model'. The new processor will be debuting on February 25th 2002.

The new packaging and design will result in lower heat consumption and less fan noise. The processor is expected to be priced at 115,000 YEN.

I expect the SFF Athlon XP will be made using the .13micron process.
Does this mean we will see ultra slim ATHLON XP laptop computers soon ??

Actually, it is the price of the system (~$950), not the processor itself.
