Well, it was a pretty interesting weekend for the CPU wars. AMD and Intel got in a pissing match for the 1GHz prize as anticipated and it looks like AMD is coming out first with the 1GHz chip today, and Intel is looking at a Wednesday release. Here is a bit of the official press release from AMD that came out early this morning (12:03am)

... AMD is currently shipping its 1GHz AMD Athlon processors priced at $1,299 in 1,000 unit quantities. AMD is also announcing the availability of 950MHz and 900MHz AMD Athlon processors. The 950MHz AMD Athlon processor is priced at $999 in 1,000 unit quantities. The 900MHz AMD Athlon processor is priced at $899 in 1,000 unit quantities. <snip>

Anyone remember back when AMD was saying they could ship 1GHz chips early last month? Looks like they werent kidding.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
