Anyone feel like speculating about\kicking around the new XP-M skt754?

I caught this blurb@Xbits HP Puts New ?K8-Based? Athlon XP-M into Action Is this "Paris"? With the performance rating of 3000+@1.6ghz with 256KB of L2 cache, and no 64bit goodness, will HyperTransport, on-die 3200DDR memory controller, SSE2, and nF3 150 go chipset be enough to give it parity with a 500mhz faster Barton 3000+ 400fsb as the rating suggests? Or are they rating this against the A64 3000+? Will it be a buggered PR like the XP 3200+ or will it be fairly accurate like the A64's? How bad is the 256kb cache going to effect it for gaming? Will it be a slight drop like the A64 3000+ compared to the A64 3200+? Any guesses about pricing?

That sounds right IMO.

Don't forget the Mobil chips run 200Mhz slower then a desktop version.

Desktop Athlon64 3000+ = 2.0Ghz
Laptop Athlon 64 3000+ = 1.8Ghz

SO...

Laptop XP-M/32 3000+ = 1.6Ghz
when thy come out it should be...... Desktop XP/32 3000+ = 1.8Ghz

I say they are on their mark. It will also allow AMD to keep the low price Mobile CPU market while using the same chipsets use the higher priced ones also.

Desktop Athlon64 3000+ = 2.0Ghz
Laptop Athlon 64 3000+ = 1.8Ghz

But the 1.8ghz has a 1mb cache like the 3200+ doesn't it?

that's weak
i can understand maybe having a slower fsb and slower memory
but being lower clocked and having less cache is just taking it too far

say what ? no 64-bit capability
hmmm

I agree I don't understand the rating....AMD confusing the consumers more....

Why make a version if it is 32bits 256 of l2 cache, then...It seems weaker then a Barton and we all know how well a barton can do against an A64 on dekstop...Spot it 600mhz and I don't see it being faster then a Barton....

laptops are already slow enough...Slower hdds, worse vid card options, usually neutered chipsets, etc....
