Extreme Hardware heeft een nogal groot interview gepost met AMD, over de Athlon natuurlijk. Ik heb er een paar uitgeplukt, de rest kun je hier vinden.
EH: What will the initial clockspeeds and L2 cache configurations be for the Athlon? What will be the L2 cache speed?AMD: The AMD Athlon is already shipping to OEMs in speeds of 500, 550, and 600Mhz. The initial L2 cache size is 512Kb, operating at œ the core speed.
Pricing:
AMD Athlon 500=$324
AMD Athlon 550=$479
AMD Athlon 600=$699
All these prices are in 1K lots.EH: If Intel were to lower Pentium-III prices so that P-IIIs would be cheaper than competing Athlons (at the same clockspeed), would AMD respond by equaling or beating Intel's Pentium-III prices?
AMD: You know our strategy. Superior products at all price points. However we get there, we plan to enable this.
