Just saw Palominos for sale!!

[Muerto]

Saw them here. Scroll down to the bottom. Prices are in CDN. $$$. Those have got to be Athlon MP processors. AMD hasn't released the desktop version of the Athlon4 yet. But I didn't know they were at 1.4GHz. That's probably a typo.

That's odd

Yummy... I wonder if it is time for me to upgrade again?

 

[Muerto]

"That's odd "

That's what I said. I went to AMD's website and the only 1.4GHz CPU they have is the T-Bird. I'm going to email that store and find out what's going on.

"Yummy... I wonder if it is time for me to upgrade again? "

I'll be doing that this summer.

 

[Budman]

That's good,i hope the regular athlons will drop in price too.

 

[jagr10]

Maybe they're just listing it now, but it's not in stock. THey're probably just taking pre-orders.

"Maybe they're just listing it now, but it's not in stock. THey're probably just taking pre-orders. "

That's probably what it is. I've emailed them so we'll have to wait and see.

Why is it odd? They're not the only ones selling them:

1.4GHz Palomino (Athlon MP) on Pricewatch

1.4ghz AthlonMP/Palamino spotted for sale...

 

[Muerto]

It's odd becuase on AMD's website the Athlon MP is listed as being 1.0 and 1.2GHz only. Not 1.4 GHz.

 

[Informant X]

Dude they've been out for more than a week. They've been on pricewatch, and other sites.

 

[Muerto]

What I'd like to know is why AMD's website doesn't have 1.4GHz Athlon MP processors on it. I know the Athlon MP has been out for over a week.

 

[Pabster]

I don't know any vendor with the 1.4GHz AthlonMP in stock. Most have an ETA around the end of the month.

 

[Insane3D]

I found the same thing to be true when I did call arounds for Palamino availabilty. The 1.4ghz MP/Palamino will not be available until mid-July or so.

 

[Scouzer]

I'm hoping that'll make regular T-Birds come down in price. Thats a tad out of my budget.

 

[Pabster]

Well, considering a 1GHz/266 Thunderbird can be had for ~$90, I'd say prices are at an all-time low. I personally find the MP chips rather cheap, particularly in comparison to P4-Xeon server chips. And we all know two MPs make minced meat out of dual P4-Xeons, even though they are running with a 1GHz clock advantage.

 

[NicColt]

Having them listed and actually having them in stock are two diff things. Specially in Canada.

I don't trust ATIC. Their customer service sucks and have you ever looked at their "news" section? It's a joke.

I go there once in a while just to have a good laugh at how arrogant they are with their "news updates." Not to mention their horrible spelling/grammar.

 

[joohang]

Hmm.. this is interesting.

Just checked out the page and it looks like they do carry them.

That's odd. Could they be selling mobile CPUs as AthlonMP?
