T-Bird 1.3GHz release date?

[ErikaeanLogic]

Hi! I'm building a system for a friend and I read somewhere last week(can't keep track of all the news forums!) that the T-Bird part will be released in a 1.3GHz flavor. Does anybody know when this will be? Thanks!

Me personally?

When they find a way to drop the heat output of the chip. FOr the past year, amd and intel have been fighting the MHZ war, each time overleaping each other for bragging rights. Granted, the P4 sucks, but I wouuld think that just "public perception wise" they would want to match 1.5ghz.

Heat? Hmmm, I wonder if that has something to do with my 10% RMA rate on 1GHz Tbirds and above? :Q

Except for one, 1.2GHz I refunded a person and they would not RMA it. Apparently even though not visible to the naked eye, it had a minor core crack. :|
