Question concerning Athlon XP

[Goatman]

What Model does the T'bred start at? 2000+ or 2100+??

2200 IN THE CASE OF THE NEW CHIPS
THE 1400 ATHLON WAS THOUGH---
BUT MY XP2000 IS NOT

How do you tell?

 

[john30uk]

do a lot of homewor and read a lot of sites the xp chip was only a half way fill stop gap till the hammer or whatever they decide to call it .
the 2200 is a smaller die than mine at 0.13 but hammer will be 0.09

The T'Bred started at 2200+ and was a huge flop, the 2400+ and 2600+ were just introduced and will be here next month with lower voltages. Your 2000+ is a Palamino core, which is .18 micron. My money is on Barton, if it ever gets here (doubtful), and if that doesn't come out, I'm bailing and moving to Hammer.

Clawhammer(Next Gen Athlon) will begin it's life at .13 SOI micron and I believe Sledgehammer (Opteron) will be at .09 micron...I think...Clawhammer will move to .09 SOI micron sometime in 2003.

for those of you with palamino core xp chips (UofEEE and Goatman) are you able to upgrade to t'bred chips such as the 2200+ without changing the motherboard. Meaning, does your mobo support those chips.

Yes sir. All it really requires is that you flash your BIOS to the latest version.
