Schrijf maar deze datum alvast maar in je agenda, cancel de afspraak met je vriendin en blijf bij je computer . Deze datum wordt nu al voor de zoveelste keer genoemd als lauch datum van de AMD Thunderbird, daarnaast zal AMD die dag de fabriek in Dresden officieel openen:
A high-performance version of Advanced Micro Device's Athlon processor dubbed Thunderbird will make its debut Monday, according to sources close to the company.
The Thunderbird is essentially an enhanced version of the Athlon, a line of processors that has been credited with turning the company's fortunes around. Its release is expected to spark a new round of competitive battles with Intel.
To be incorporated into high-end consumer systems and business desktops, Thunderbird will run at speeds ranging from 750-MHz to 1-GHz and higher, according to sources.
AMD also will formally open its fabrication facility in Dresden, Germany on Monday.
