AMD plans to leave Intel in the dust, combining it's new .13 micron technology with it's already-amazing architecture. The following was taken directly from AMD.com:
At CeBIT, AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that it plans to begin shipping AMD Athlon XP processors codenamed Thoroughbred based on .13 micron technology to customers later this month.
The move to state-of-the-art .13 process technology represents a significant evolution for the AMD Athlon processor family. With this transition, AMD expects its processors to deliver improved performance, lower power and smaller die sizes.
AMDs leadership in manufacturing technology and outstanding design capabilities helps ensure that this small die will give us even more advantage in the future, said Bill Siegle, senior vice president and chief scientist, Technology Operations, AMD. Our outstanding Fab 30 team in Dresden is already approaching mature yields for the 80mm2 Thoroughbred die.
On .13 micron technology, the Thoroughbred core of the AMD Athlon XP processor is approximately 38 percent smaller than the current AMD Athlon XP processor on .18 process technology.
Our closest competitors most recently announced processor on .13 micron technology is nearly 83 percent larger than AMDs .13 process solution, Siegle said. Moving to .13 micron technology will enable us to produce higher-performing products while lowering costs, putting us in an even stronger competitive position.
By the end of 2002, AMD expects that all of the AMD Athlon processor family will be produced on .13 micron technology. AMD also expects to begin shipping its next-generation processor codenamed Hammer, which uses a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) version of the .13 micron technology, at the e
