AMD's Athlon XP 2700+
kraven_73 writes "According to some Taiwanese sources, AMD will officially reveal its Athlon XP 2700+ processor on the 7th of October. Most interesting is that this CPU will have a 333 MHz FSB. The first implementation of this increased FSB on Athlon platform. It is expected that the novelty will be based on the latest Thoroughbred core stepping 1, just like the current Athlon XP 2400+ and 2600+, and will work at 2.17GHz."
My 66MHz 6100/66 is still going to blow the pants off this thing! RISC, baby!
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - horror/fiction writer Stephen King was found dead in his Florida home this morning. He was 54. There weren't any more details. I'm sure the slashdot community will miss him; even if you're not a fan of his work there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
It does not add any performance to the system... and you have less chances for overclocking FSB...

AMD just realesed a New proccessor to compete with Intel's latest 2.8 p4. Bleh blah bleeee.

Hey, this sounds great, but...am I the only one who doesn't see the point? I've been running my 500MHz P3 since mid-1998, and it's all the power I need. Even the latest games don't require this amount of firepower. The only reason people keep upgrading is because of advertising. In 25 years we will all be using the same stuff, and laugh about how we all thought that anyone needed 2700MHz CPUs.
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
Hey idiot- Intel has already announced an 800 MHz FSB due the end of this year.
You were amusing with your cooler-than-thou attitude for about three syllables, but then it got old. I've never posted that joke BEFORE, so for fuck's sake take the stick out of your ass, get off your goddamn high horse, and get over yourself!
