Overclockers gives their opinions on the cheap chips of today and tomorrow.

Dresden will start making Hammers and Austin will stop making Durons the last quarter of 2002, but most production at Dresden will continue to be Athlons. It's unclear how long Palominos will be around. On the one hand, low-speed Throughbreds will be cheaper to make. On the other hand, you have .13 micron refitting expenses that will have to be recaptured within about a year. I suspect AMD would prefer to go .13, but will play it by ear, and if business isn't too good, they can live with the Palominos.

News will be dry from me today and tomorrow because I'm running out and getting GTA 3 RIGHT NOW!!! So hopefully Warlock and Subj will start cranking out even more news for you guys Smile.
