Go up one level in this thread


P4 is not out yet. On the other hand, AMD has just this month
started shipping the Athlon "Thunderbird", which is available
at or close to 1GHz and has a 256K on-chip cache. This looks
pretty attractive, although the high-Mhz versions are costly
now. I assume they will crank up the clock speed and lower the
prices later this year.

Btw. http://www.tomshardware.com has very informative (although
opinionated) coverage of x86 processors.
