            Very impresive.... 2.133Ghz from that Athlon chip......
            I have to get one of those...

            Hope the roumors about AMD having 333Mhz FSB on their 2800+ model is true

                I'm very happy to see this

                If they can get Barton out and keep raising the clock speed like this they should be able to keep Intel in check until Hammer arrives. I'm just hoping they do MP Bartons...

                  There's a 2600+ review at Aces: http://www.aceshardware.com - At the end of the day, the 2600+ and P4 2.53 are pretty much neck-and-neck.

                    AnandTechs also got a nice article. I found the SpecViewPerf and 3D rendering results very interesting. I just with he'd do some tests with MPEG-2/DVD encoding.

                        And what will you get when the Clawhammer comes out at 3400+ in Q4/02 & 4400+ (.09u) in Q2/03?
