On Wednesday, Dell President Kevin Rollins indicated that the company intends to remain an Intel-only shop. Dell offers servers based on Intel's 64-bit Itanium chips, but AMD's new processors handle both 32-bit and 64-bit software.".

The madshrimps men bought one of them, the 1.6 ghz version. The most interesting part of this cpu is its core voltage, only 1.5 V. This cpu begged to be compared with an Athlon XP, dlt3c (known for reaching speeds up to 2700Mhz!). Is the new Duron an equally good overclocker ? Maybe even better ? Find out in this review at MadShrimps __________________________________________ 10/09/03 - AMD Athlon 64 Utilities and upgrade page AMD just set up a Athlon 64 utilities and upgrade page here where some interesting stuff can be found. Most exciting of all is probably the "Cool'n'Quiet" utility which, according to AMD, allows the system to dynamically and automatically select the CPU speed, Voltage and Power combination that match the instantaneous user perfomance need. These changes can happen as often as 30 times per second. __________________________________________ 10/08/03 - Motherboard and barebone review of the day 1 - BIOSTAR K8VHA Pro VIA K8T800 at OCworkbench 2 - Shuttle SN85G4 Athlon 64 barebone at HardOCP 3 - Abit KV7II VIA KT880 Chipset specs at AMDboard 4 - MSI K8T Neo vs. shuttle AN50R at Computerbase __________________________________________ 10/07/03 - Latest Athlon 64 3200+ and FX-51 reviews 1 - Athlon 64 3200+ & MSI K8T Neo at Hardware-Test 2 - Athlon 64 3200+ & Gigabyte K8VNXP at Hardwarezoom 3 - Athlon 64 3200+ & AN50R & EPoX 8HDA3+ at Hexus 4 - Athlon 64 FX-51 & Asus SK8N at TweakPC 5 - Athlon 64 FX-51 & Asus SK8N at Hexus __________________________________________ 10/07/03 - UBS upgrade AMD! UBS upgrades upgrades to Neutral from Reduce and raises their target to $12 from $5; firm believes that AMD's flash business is doing well this quarter, and that investors will be focusing on breakeven and Athlon 64 units in 2004 rather than processor share losses, which should continue through 2004. __________________________________________ 10/07/03 - Now AMD Official Support Forum! While Kyle visits AMDboard, Gilles goes to HardOCP and discover with amazement that AMD has made its own self personal homemade forum: "AMD has taken a page from the book that the hardware community wrote. They now have support forums for their processors. Of course many of us have done this for years and never asked for a dime from AMD in return.".

According to the German site, Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX should totally replace the 940 counterpart in Q2 2004 while Athlon 64 should reach higher numbers than Athlon XP at the same moment. Finally, the average quantity of Athlon sold for the whole year is planned to be around 8 millions chips per quarter with no specific numbers for mobile versions and Duron. It's here __________________________________________ 10/06/03 - Intel cuts prices with more aimed at AMD... "The new price cuts are widely seen as timed to take on the 64-bit Athlon 64 processors rolled out by AMD in late September. The Athlon 64 3200+ with 754 pins is priced at US$417 and the more powerful Athlon 64 FX-51 carries a price tag of US$733. The Athlon 64 3200+ and 3000+ for notebooks are priced at US$417 and US$278, respectively.".

Now Sun is taking the next step: to make Solaris the operating system of choice for the AMD64 architecture. As a key member of the Solaris engineering team you will help in the planning and implementation of a 64-bit version of Solaris for platforms based on AMD's Opteron line of processors.".

It is believed that AMD will provide samples of this CPU to its partners sometime in the first quarter next year". The rest at X-bit labs __________________________________________ 10/05/03 - AMD teasing us over 939 pin Athlon FX "Some word has leaked out that losing a single pin will let them go from six to four layers. While 939 will let four layer FX boards come to market, we are sorry to say that there is no magic pin that will bring this about. The 939 socket is a complete redo of socket 940.".
