Rumors are just rumors. But you have to ask yourself why AMD isn't raising the
FSB. They can do it you know. There are no technical reasons why not. The EV6
bus has no problem delivering 400MHz bandwidth. Because it has been able to do
so from the start. AMD is playing the money game here, no doubt. And do not want
to be in the Intel situation, where the high end PIII is killing the low to
medium end P4 CPU's. That's why it's not certain that they will release the MP
with higher FSB. And the FSB is the only thing stopping the Athlon from
hammering the speedy P4 :) The thing you are  calling lagging behind is most
probably the staging of a new round of releases.
