New AMD Athlon 2600 Processor Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-emmanuel-goldstein-processor dept.

Ertai writes "Looks like the latest AMD processor is out today, and is taking it right to Intel! Running at 2.13 GHz, the Athlon XP 2600+ is reviewed at Amdmb.com. The benchmarks show that the new Athlon on a 'revision B' Thoroughbred core with the frequency increase is able to beat out the Pentium 4 2.53 GHz processor on almost every test. Not only that, but it is a good overclocker as well! Check it out." AMD's press release on the topic also notes a Athlon 2400 was released as well.

    All my hardcore AMD convert friends were starting to get pissed when AMD was slacking behind, so they said they were going to go P4.

    Thank God I can rub it back in their faces again. Hopefully Toms Hardware will have a benchmark comparason before the day's over :)

    Hallelujah!

    Yawn. My G4 system is much faster than this anyway. I still don't understand why you simpletons use chips with legacy 8086 code still in them, while real power users like myself are enjoying the power of vector optimizations.

    Microsoft employees are coders who realized that contributing to open source projects just wasn't paying the bills.

    Yeah, but how much of that profit will be restated in 6 months?
