More AMD goodness today, this time it Thoroughbred news. AMD is officially announcing plans to ship the .13 micron TBred at the end of this month. The good news just keeps rolling out of AMD today, doesn't it. The PR itself is rather small, so I'll go ahead and just post it here for you viewing pleasure. Dig in...

 

AMD today announced that it plans to begin shipping AMD Athlon XP processors codenamed "Thoroughbred" based on .13 micron technology to customers later this month. The move to state-of-the-art .13 process technology represents a significant evolution for the AMD Athlon processor family. With this transition, AMD expects its processors to deliver improved performance, lower power and smaller die sizes.

 

"AMD's leadership in manufacturing technology and outstanding design capabilities helps ensure that this small die will give us even more advantage in the future," said Bill Siegle, senior vice president and chief scientist, Technology Operations, AMD. "Our outstanding Fab 30 team in Dresden is already approaching mature yields for the 80mm2 'Thoroughbred' die." On .13 micron technology, the "Thoroughbred" core of the AMD Athlon XP processor is approximately 38 percent smaller than the current AMD Athlon XP processor on .18 process technology.

 

"Our closest competitor's most recently announced processor on .13 micron technology is nearly 83 percent larger than AMD's .13 process solution," Siegle said. "Moving to .13 micron technology will enable us to produce higher-performing products while lowering costs, putting us in an even stronger competitive position." By the end of 2002, AMD expects that all of the AMD Athlon processor family will be produced on .13 micron technology. AMD also expects to begin shipping its next-generation processor codenamed "Hammer," which uses a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) version of the .13 micron technology, at the end of the year.

Ikke for å skuffe noen, men Thomas Stenberg (fra AMD) sa at siste nytt var at den kom i slutten av mai, men det er 3 uker siden da... Mulig at AMD har endret planene sine siden den gang :smile:

Som du ser er dette en ofisiell annonsering av AMD, så den er troverdig.
