CaptainRAVE Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 AMD has announced that it is looking to launch a series of 3.3 processors by the end of next year based on a 0.13 micron Hammer chip. Then they will look at 4.4GHz by the early part of 2003. It is looking at launching the processors to replace its current 0.18 micron Palomino chip. The chips will be named 3300 and 4400 in accordance with the companies new naming system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest digl Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 wow thats fast but are you sure about the model numbers? Thats not the way the new naming system works they dont name using the Ghz, they name them like the equivalent performance pentium for example an athlon 1500 is running at 1,2 Ghz but performs similar to a pentium 1,5 (Its just an example the numbers are not right at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted November 15, 2001 Author Share Posted November 15, 2001 Im not sure of the actual speed, but they will perform at that speed of the P4. Still cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millions o' Monkeys Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 thats not all that suprising to me actually. seeing there already releasing more powerful chips almost monthly now. so even by half way through next year theyll (ibm and amd) will probalby be getting to the 2.7 ghz mark. A bit away from that i heard about this thing somewhere....and it said that over the next few years cpu's are going to get so powerful and small that theyll have to rethink the way they buil them or it will end up being to small to fit in your computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted November 15, 2001 Share Posted November 15, 2001 This is True but within the next 10-20 years we're gonna hit a wall for a long time and take a while to get our comps faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted November 15, 2001 Author Share Posted November 15, 2001 AMD has showed off their new processor which uses the .13 micron manufacturing technique, which they have code named 'Thoroughbred' at the Comdex convention. Thoroughbred will go public early next year. However, AMD refused to give the clock speed of the new chip. They also demonstrated the new Athlon XP 2000+ chip, but were even more close-mouthed about it, saying only that the official release of their fastest chip yet was just "around the corner."

acdcfanbill Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 well, we may hit a wall, but there will soon be optical CPU's and ram and such, so i think we will see steadly increasing speeds for at least 30 to 40 yrs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Yeah, I heard that too acdcfanbill. It all sounds good to me. Of course, we'll probably have to upgrade the MoBo again when this next batch arrives. I just hope they continue working on getting rid of the bottlenecks in the rest of the system...because if they don't then faster processors will be pretty much redundant if they're not fed fast enough. I think a radical redesign is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 oh ya, mobo upgrade, hopefully it will be an optical mobo also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
