AMD's Athlon XP 2700+

kraven_73 writes "According to some Taiwanese sources, AMD will officially reveal its Athlon XP 2700+ processor on the 7th of October. Most interesting is that this CPU will have a 333 MHz FSB. The first implementation of this increased FSB on Athlon platform. It is expected that the novelty will be based on the latest Thoroughbred core stepping 1, just like the current Athlon XP 2400+ and 2600+, and will work at 2.17GHz."

Sorry, my ears are now tuned to the Hammer frequency.

Subject, of course, to pricing ;-)

Did I hear you right? Is it almost Hammer Time?

When will the CPU race finish? Will it ever?

You didn't get the memo? It ends June 17th 2004... From then on all technology will be at a stand-still, and most of us will find new jobs involving drills...

Mainly to develop faster microprocessors.

I want a Hammer!!!!! :(

[exhilaration]

Who cares about the "2100+" or "2900+"? I've been holding off upgrading for months waiting for AMD to release Hammer.

:( *sniff* so close, yet so far away... Hammer..

Do you collaborate with the rest of the people that say the same thing on every article about faster processors? Or did you just copy/paste a post from the last thread?

Porno.

The custom viewer app I wrote to moderate Autopr0n.com is still pretty slow on my duron 1.2ghz. It basicaly renders all the .jpg on a page into a back buffer so youc an flip through them quickly. It can take up to 10 seconds to decompress all the pics.

So, it would be nice to get as fast a computer as I can get my hands on :)

which do i choose

Intel, Athlon, Intel, Athlon, hmm. Intel, Athlon........ I got it;

Sun UltraSPARC
