DaNose heeft errug cool nieuws: "Hmm... lekker. Volgens de Register begint AMD volgende week met de produktie van de eerste 1Ghz koper Athlons .":
The first copper Athlon production should roll out of AMD's Dresden Fab 30 next week, after the plant's official opening on Wednesday. That means that despite problems with cost, and associated negotiations with Motorola to help fund Dresden development, AMD is probably on schedule for 1GHz copper Athlon parts for Q1 next year.AMD has an unpleasant history of not quite managing to get its production schedules together, but so far Dresden doesn't look at all bad. It's the first plant outside of the US capable of using a copper process, and as it comes into commission this year it seems to have been hitting its targets.
Wow, wreed! Dit terwijl AMD vorige week op een aandeelhouders bijeenkomst nog zei dat de 1GHz Athlon pas halverwege volgend jaar ging komen. Nu nog ff die nieuwe AMD en VIA Athlon chipsets en de echte party kan beginnen...
