AMD Announces Mobile Athlon XP Thoroughbred Processors. UPDATE: Mobile nForce and Hammer News

The new 0.13-micron products from AMD include four models: the 1400+, 1500+, 1600+ and 1700+. In addition, the company is sampling a low-power version with a micro PGA package for the thin-and-light notebook computer market.

The chips feature AMD's PowerNow! technology and its QuantiSpeed architecture. It also has a 266-MHz front-side bus option.

Finally!

UPDATE: AMD's road show has revealed some interesting info. According to AMDZone, nVidia "announced" their mobile nForce, however it's using GeF4 MX graphics instead of GeF2 MX graphics. I don't know how accurate this info is, since I can't find it on nVidia's website. We'll see.

There are other people around the web claiming that they attended one of AMD's tech tours and discovered that ClawHammer motherboard availability will be limited to just AMD at launch, but that SiS and VIA will follow closely with their completed ClawHammer chipsets. Supposedly, ClawHammer is going to fill the channel in Q3 of this year, with Q4 availability. We'll see about that one...
 


<< Wont the extra bus speed suck up the juice though? >>


I doubt it. And even if it does, it probably won't suck up that much.

And if they use DDR RAM, it uses less voltage and likely less power to run than PC100/133 SDRAM. Besides, most of the battery are drained on LCD, CPU (well.. maybe not so much any more) and hard drive.
 
This could be AMDs chance to break into the mobile market (true, they do have mobile processors, but they're not exactly good at what they do). All they need to do is cut the heat problem down, and with a .13micron chip...it might be possible. This will be interesting.
 
The "$190 for model 1400+" and "Socket-A pin-compatible" news has to please investors. They don't really say anything more interesting than that.
 
Yea this is cool. It's 'bout time they gave the Athlon 4 a 266fsb. Hopefully, VIA can get a Mobile KT266A out soon so they can have DDR. Being limited to SDR and 200fsb has really limited the Athlon4 .
 


<< true, they do have mobile processors, but they're not exactly good at what they do >>

- care to elaborate ? what is it that they are not good at exactly.
 


<< what is the mhz of these cpus? >>

Supposedly the Athlon XP mobile processor ratings have been changed. The 1700+ is now 1.53GHz instead of 1.47GHz. That pattern follows the same pattern down to the 1400+ processor.

are you saying:
1700+ = 1533mhz
1600+ = 1466mhz
1500+ = 1400mhz
1400+ = 1333mhz

they changed how they give pr ratings? i don't get it.... the .18 micron xp 1500+ at 1300mhz, and now a 1333mhz .13 micron xp is 1400+.

i wish they'd just say the actual mhz. i've read like 6 or 7 articles about the tbred mobil chips, but have yet to see a mention of the real mhz.

You bring up a good point, I have no idea why AMD's .18-micron mobile Athlon XP 1600+ is 1.4GHz but that their .13-micron mobile Athlon XP 1600+ is 1.47GHz. Very confusing indeed.

However, looking at these numbers I can't help but wonder if AMD is being a little conservative. An Athlon XP @ 1.53GHz (266MHz FSB) would surely be able to outperform a 1.7GHz Northwood (400MHz FSB).

and to add to it, i just looked up the desktop xp 1500+. it runs at 1333mhz.

1500+ = 1333mhz desktop .18 micron
1500+ = 1300mhz mobile .18 micron
1500+ = 1400mhz mobile .13 micron

and a 1200mhz mobile .18 micron has no pr rating, but it's still a palomino.

i agree that amd's ratings are a bit conservative. but why make them more conservative? and why not publish the real mhz? and i htought the pr rating was comparing the palomino to the tbird, not the p4.

ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀

<< An AMD representative said the 1400+ chip will run at 1.2GHz; the 1500+ will run at 1.3GHz and 1.33GHz; the 1600+ at 1.4GHz; and the 1700+ at 1.47GHz. All of the chips except the 1700+ will come with either a 200MHz or 266MHz bus; the 1700+ will offer a 266MHz bus only >>
