AMD AthlonXPs 2400+ & 2600+ coming out soon ?

Those CPUs are supposed to be speed bumps of the 2200+ TBred, so no 512K of L2 cache yet.

2400+ -> 2GHZ

2600+ -> 2.13GHZ

At last, AMD seems to be doing 133mhz bumps rather then 66.

The 2800+ is allready rumored on a few places ( including [H]ardOCP ), & it is said to be the first AthlonXP with 166 ( 333 ) FSB.

I wonder if they still suffer from poor overclockability... like the 2200+

According to the article they run cooler. There might be hope.

There's one thing I don't get.

Shouldn't the 2400+ be at 1933mhz & the 2600+ at 2066mhz ?

2200+ -> 1800 MHZ
2300+ -> 1866 MHZ *
2400+ -> 1933 MHZ
2500+ -> 2000 MHZ *
2600+ -> 2066 MHZ


* ( is not announced & will prolly not exist )

IHS on the new CPUs ?

The new TBred AthlonXP CPUs have ridiculously small Die sizes & it's harder to cool them then with the Palomino core. This IHS might be what they needed to get them to run cooler.
