AMD 1.4's (Both Bus) for sale ALREADY?

[Bozo Galora]

DrFatal in "Hot Deals" gave link to site for true 1.400 TBirds (10.5X133, 14X100). Passed my order thru shop cart.
Will call Mon. to see if really in stock.

I doubt any retailer has them yet
Pricewatch doesn't have them listed and AMD's site only mentions 1.33 as the fastest Athlon available.

 

[Bozo Galora]

my order was accepted

 

[sharkeeper]

Bah!

I can get a 1.5 GHz cheaper than that! 🙂

Cheers!

Just checked their resellerrating: excellent, no bull company.
Things are looking positive.

Edit: Remember: these may be 1.7's in disguise.

 

[Renob]

that would be sweet if they were 1.7s

 

[Degenerate]

if they are really 1.7 in disguise, then why arent they 1.7?? give me the reasons. why dosent it run hot?

 

[KevinH]

There's no way that's a 1.7 in disguise dude. From what I understand, this core isn't going past 1.4-.5ish. That's when the Palaminos will come in.

 

[Mixxen]

Geez 1.7GHz on a Tbird core would suck up some major wattage...100+ maybe?

 

[Degenerate]

thats what i am thinking, i dont get why some people say tat the Athlons right now are disguised 1.7..

Wishful thinking or youthful exuberance. 😉

1.4 I think will be the last in the line of Tbirds. Palomino is next up to the plate. Just a matter of when.

 

[Bozo Galora]

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
What I meant was, since these parts are later weeks, and since the 1/1.2 go to 1.4, and the 1.33's go to 1.6+, then perhaps the 1.4's MAY go to 1.7+ OVERCLOCKED. Im not saying this is a new chip version AMD is secretly putting out.
The 1.33 is a 1.5 (easy O/C) &quot;in disguise&quot;.
Nobody here really knows what the TBird AXIA or future AYIA or AZIA cores will do maximum.
You can theorize all you want, but until someone gets to cranking on one of these, you cant predict what will happen. Heat transfer is obviously the big issue here.

And BTW: All my youthful exuberance is long gone - trust me.

However i thnk there might be a 1.4 tb. When the palominos come out @ 1.5 or 1.4 if the 1.4tb is not coming out, i think intel should be releasing something. But what i have heard is that there wont be releasing anything until Q3or the same time MAD is releasing. BTW, when does Q3 start?
