1.2GHz Athlons
Steve Gibson
1
Crazy hardware article of the day I spotted on AcesHardware. It's not quite that 90GHz stuff from yesterday but it looks like the AMD fabs are already yielding 1GHz and even 1.2GHz 0.18 micron Athlon chips! Dig it:

The good news: a good percentage of .18 micron Athlon's (Al) are yielding 1 GHz. A decent amount of Copper Athlons (better take a seat) are already hitting 1.2 GHz!! Again, Yields are way better than expected. The Thunderbird seems to be ahead of schedule too (no details right now).

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.

    After that 90Ghz article, how could I settle for a measly 1.2Ghz?

    I\'ll wait for IBM and the 90gigger, thanks!
