AMD Moving to a 400MHz Bus?

An anonymous reader writes "According to this tantalizing Infoworld Scoop, AMD soon introduce a 400 Mhz bus. Seems that SiS's big announcement at CEBIT is the SiS748 chipset, which supports both 400 MHz DDR & AGP 8X, and is targeted at the upcoming Athlon 3200+."

Do you Intel employees get a bonus for posting this sort of FUD? I have a KT333, previously using a KT266, and have had absolutely zero chipset related problems. Indeed the machine has been rock solid. Of course I have two Intel machines that are rock solid as well.

Intel FUDmeisters have always relied upon the "It ain't Intel so it's unreliable" FUD as their primary defense: If Windows 95 crashes on a Intel box, it's Microsoft's fault, but if it crashes on a AMD box, it's AMD/VIAs fault. Man does it get tiring.

Wow. You're stupid.

Performance is all that matters in the end, not IPC.

Always Behind

Whooo hooo! Huge upgrade to 400Mhz still leaves them behind Intel by 133Mhz! Makes me wanna rush right out and upgrade my system to below competition specs!
