They reported that the 166fsb/333DDR fsb version of the 2600+ was going to be 2133MHz. I emailed them and told them that it will NOT be 2133MHz but will be 2083MHz with a 12.5x multiplier. It appears they can't divide. 2133.333~ / 166.666~ = 12.8. This multiplier doesn't exist and never will exist. They kept the article up saying that the 2600+/333 will be 2.133GHz up until the day the AMD tech docs finally said it was 2083MHz. Hard for me to believe an article from any hardware page when the editor can't even divide. They should know enough about what they're writing about otherwise not bother writing it at all. You may say, "You're being too hard on them, it's just a simple mistake".. Indeed, very SIMPLE. Being a hardware info page you should know that multipliers for current x86 cpus. For example, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, ... 11.0, 11.5, 12.0, etc. No such thing as 11.3, 12.8, etc. As I mentioned previously they didn't even change the article when corrected with the proper information (yes, I told them in a polite manner:). Here is the article in question: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=6032 Btw, AMDZone.com is no better. They made the same mistake. I emailed them about it and it also went unnoticed. Of course.. the day the tech docs are released, "2600+/333fsb 2.083GHz released!".. ZZzzz...
