I'm a bit confused. Isn't AMD manufacturing T-Birds *only* these days?
My understanding was that the whole line of Athlons stopped with the 1GHz
version, then only T-Birds (starting out at 700 MHz) were being distributed.
They just don't say "Thunderbird" anymore since beyond 1GHz there is no chance
of confusion anymore (as it was with "Athlon 1000" vs. "Athlon Thunderbird
1000").

Maybe someone can shed a light here?
