Any clue to when we get .13 from AMD

[Guest]

Hello All !

Well I been reading for a few weeks and even today I been told several times to wait a few days, a week, a few weeks, or even a month for the .13 CPU to be out and it looks as if it is a repeating process as that was being told to people back 2 weeks ago and even a month ago.

I take it everyone is under some spell that says you post this info and repeat it until it happens.

I do want a AMD CPU for several reason, but the best one is that INTEL CPU was tops with me until I seen the price to performance ratio and even with INTEL MOBO press release they are only just getting their ack on track so I may go back in a few years, but at this point AMD is my buy.

What I would like to know is can anyone say for any real way that it is going to be out soon and give me a date in some form like even the 2nd week and supply me with how you know that ?

Just hopping to find out if any of you have any real info or is it all guessing !

Well at this rate im looking a 0.09micron. With all those fixes like L1 getting more *finally*, Fixed FPU, adding a ALU could look good.

You GeForce Ti4xxx is faster then my R8500 but my R8500 is the king of Aniso baby

 

[jihiggs]

i bet its not out yet because of that conspiracy with newegg.com

you shot who in the what now?

You'll be waiting a long time, though, won't you? I honestly don't know when that change is going to happen, which is why I ask.

It's ridiculus. I even had to modify my Seinfeld sig.

I wish AMD would get it out. AMD can continue to dominate in the area of performance ONLY if they get their new hardware out on schedule.

if(GetSystemMetrics(SM_PROCESSOR) != AMD_PROCESSOR)
{
SendMessage(hwnd,WM_CLOSE,0,0);
}

Continue? I thought you had to actually be on top to be able to "continue" being on top? Or did the definition of "continue" change?

seems to me amd doesnt dominate anything, with the exeption of computers in my house.

If my response is brief and vague its because the info you provided is too!

So why is the roadmap here on THG for AMD show the .13's as if they have already been released? Who painted that silly thing??? Hell...might as well just skip the Burton and Thoroughbred, and just go straight to the JACK.

Seems like people love to correct you with dictionary meanings, lol!

I think he was only verified to be correct. If you read what he posted and what the bolded dictionary statement says... they say the exact same thing

 

[siliconjon]

I want my point one three...

By the time they get them out, Guillemont will have their .06 on the market.

:!

Just what I was going to say, thank you.

I might be going to the dark side soon in one fell swoop.
Probably selling almost my entire rig (CPU (AXP 1800+), mobo (KR7A-RAID), ram, sound card (GTXP), case, PSU) and then getting a P4 overclocking rig, and an Audigy.
Intel and Creative labs, the ultimate dark side computer

[FatBurger]

The difference between the P4 and the Audigy being that the P4 is actually a good product.

[SammyBoy]

Why in the name of all things holy would you dump you're GTXP for a Audigy?! I mean, the GTXP is just a superior product, and I have yet to come across any incompatability problems, where SB has a history of issues (VIA southbridge anyone?) Plus, the Rack is just phenomenal, and the sound quality is top-notch. I'll agree with FatBurger here that the P4 is quality... but not the Audigy.

[Atolsammeek]

that funny SammyBoy I had VIA chips from athlon 700mhz to 1800+ No problem here. My guess would be is the person that installs the soundblaster live.

 

[Oni]

I've never had problems with Creative Labs in several different via boards either. But after doing some researching in the hard forums I think I'm going to get a Santa Cruz, and I'm selling my GTXP because I need some extra $$$ to make my P4 rig better a nice LCD from Matrix Orbital to show off clock speeds and such, and a nice Green Cold Cathode Tube. Gosh I'm such a nerd sometimes, but then again arn't we all.

If my response is brief and vague its because the info you provided is too!

 

[FatBurger]

There is a known conflict between the 686b and the Live, but I used both of those without that problem. Lots of others, but not that specific problem.

Oni, good call. The Santa Cruz is a great card. And yes, we're all a little nerdy some of the time. And some of us are a lot nerdy all of the time :lol:

ComputerGeek,

Ignore all of these other useless responses by these people, and here is the information you requested:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 2200+ & 2400+ (Thoroughbred), the 0.13 micron successor to Palomino core Athlon XP, is expected to be released in June. Thoroughbred is expected to have the same featureset as Palomino.
