So.....is the XP 1800 THE fastest Amd cpu out?

[nV2a]

Please tell me it is...I'm about to get one, and I dont want any newer chips releasing two days after I get it.

 

[ledzepp98]

it is the fastest and it was just released...so you are good to go for a little while

 

[mchammer187]

well technically IBM's 1.3 Ghz whatever is

but on the consumer level yes

Hammer, he asked about the fastest AMD cpu....

 

[DiamondFire13]

rumor has it that AMD may be releaseing some really fast Athlom MP processors soon.

Yes, but they prolly aren't going to be faster than the 1800+. The AthlonMP 1.2 GHz wasn't really faster than the 1.4 GHz T-bird that was already out, so I imagine they will probably stick to that same format for making MP releases. To answer the original question, yes.

Why don't you go and ask the many people that got one of these processors today...

Sounds interesting - can I have a link? I'd like to read about this. 🙂 IBM always makes such good stuff. 😛

Anyway, I think the XP 1800+ will be the big boy on the AMD block for awhile. My guess is that the XP 1800+ will be the fastest AMD cpu till sometime in Jan.

Sure. Here's the thread I started about the 1.3GHz IBM Power4.
