Subject: What is the next of Athlon 1.4?

Hi all,

From some old posts of last week, I have known that Athlon 1.4 still overcomes
Intel4 2GHz for chess applications. It seems be the best choice for me. I will
take one soon. In one hand, I feel unhappy because there is not any new breaking
technology (for chess), but in the other hand, I feel happy because I will save
more money for buying the best one (Athlon is much cheeper than the lastest
Intel, I guess we could be safe to ignore Intel for around 6-8 months - the time
need for releasing new processor and reducing its price into acceptable one).

However, before going out to buy Athlon, I am curious if AMD is planing to
release any new processor. Does anybody know about it? Is it worth to wait few
months (1-3 months) for new one? Any suggestion?
