Athlon 1.5 Ghz release date??

[jj1492]

Anyone know when the 1.5 Ghz Athlon is planning to be released?

Tbirds as far as I know will only be released upto 1.3 Ghz, anything higher and the yields won't be profitable.

Using air cooling, the max a Tbird goes is ~1400 mhz, there are a few lucky bastards on this board running at 1500+ but that is extrememly RARE.

why is that the max?

Cause anything faster produces to much heat, and the proc can't take it. The new palomino core will have lesser heat production, and is schedule for Q2 01'
