Thunderbird Cometh
Steve Gibson
19
It looks like the new AMD Thunderbird chips are getting closer. ZDNet has an article up suggesting the new CPU line could be coming out as early as the end of next month. Not only will it be sporting an on-die cache, but chances are they will even be faster than the current hot stuff 1GHz chips.

Moving level 2 cache on chip, in general, yields a performance boost of at least 10 percent... [snip] Thunderbird will also utilize copper metal interconnects..

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.
