News AMD AthlonXP 2600+ Review :: Overclockers.com.au

Today OCAU check out AMD's latest and greatest, the 2.133GHz and Thoroughbred-cored AthlonXP 2600+. They compare it to Intel's 2.53GHz P4 in a range of benchmarks.

Quote :: It would be nice to say, on this almost-anniversary, that AMD have another huge surprise up their sleeve. In reality though, this latest offering is an evolutionary step along the same line that began 3 years ago. It's not Hammer, AMD's much-anticipated server/workstation line recently officially named Opteron. It's not Barton, the next in line after Thoroughbred, which depending which rumours you listen to may or may not be 333MHz (DDR) FSB and may or may not have 512kb of L2. This chip we have here today is a Thoroughbred-cored AthlonXP, with 266MHz (DDR) FSB, 256KB of L2 cache and
the same Socket462 interface.
