Hmm, what would you do for a 1.6 ghz T'bird?

I was surfing around and came across something most techies would give anything for... the next generation of kryotech desktops...

Take a look at the specs and drool a bit, 1.6 ghz!

Personally, I'm waiting for a 1.5Ghz Palomino, to see how it overclocks... They should be out by Spring/Summer....

me too. Sure, this looks fine right now, but in several months it will be surpassed and it wont cost you your firstborn son.

Is that the new AMD 133FSB CPU or a different chip all-together?

Palomino is that Sledghammer 64-bit CPU?

no, palamino is a t'bird made of slightly different silicon to deal with heat. I think this the chip used here is a standard t'bird on a 133 FSB with a 12.5 multiplier, that would give about 1.6 ghz. I think they would use 12.5 as the multiplier because that's the max on the t'bird now to my knowledge. That should change with the palamino though.

I'm waiting for the palomino as well. I'd like one that overclocks around 2 gig!

AMD never said that the palimino is using the new silicon. They just said 20% cooler and 20% less power.

Register said it was on the new silicon, then again, it is the Register, lol. My bet is that's what they are using. Seems to be the easiest way to meet their goals.
