according to hardocp the new hot tbirds have this stepping - supposedly 1.33s can get to 1.6 - icompz has them from $217 - anybody seen one of these?

i'll wait till they are 129.95 as usual

yeah, I read some early user reviews and they seem to be pretty " nasty" ! I'm afraid I'm tap city as far as funds tho so I'm gonna have watch a few cycles of cpus come and go.

Ant easy bein' an upgrader.

know what you mean , hehe

there was a thread about them at [H] - some dude had his up to 1.66 - supposedly they are 1.4 cores being sold for 1.33s 'cause they've phased out earlier 1.33s

i'd love to have one but not sure i could tell the difference between 1.25 and 1.5

I ordered a 1.33 GHz 266 FSB T-Bird AYHJA Y Stepping from icompz yesterday. I'll be cooling it with the new kickass Millenium Glacier heatsink.

I'll make a post on how high I can get it whenever the cpu and heatsink arrives.

So this means that if I go out and buy a 1.4ghz athlon its gonna be the new AYHJA stepping?

I think there are 1.33's that are of that stepping. Maybe you can save a couple bux. Didn't know they were even selling 1.4's yet !

the 1.4's are on pricewatch.. and they seem to be close to the same price as the 1.33 super duper stepping in the link wvjohn provided us with. So I was just wondering if all 1.4's were this new stepping.

So far they are the same stepping.

Yesterday I talked about the Athlon processor’s point-to-point transaction bus and its advantages. I talked about how it enables the Athlon to command its own independent bus in a multi processor system like the one based on the 760MP chipset. With this in mind, the current TBird is also ready for use in a 760MP or future dual socket A motherboards.

I didn't know that the current athlon chips could do dual cpu? I thought only the new Athlon 4's could? BTW, thats a quote from the review link posted above.

They seem to be ready I guess since they used it and benched it

Just got mine today. Only got it to 1.53Ghz though (11.5 x 133)

Mobo doesn't seem to want to do any higher. Wish I waited a little while to buy the KT7a-Raid because the newer ones (some people call them Rev.2) can overclock higher.
