AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to CPU design/arch.
But it seems to me they may have just tried to incorporate too many things in one step...

New uArch, Gate first, HKMG on a relatively new process seems like alot to take on at once.
I'd sincerely hope this design was tested throughly before it was even taped out, the problem could lie anywhere.
Hopefully, if the performance isn't upto expectations on release it'll be a situation similar to the PHI/PHII and we'll see a
much improved version within the next year.... Not good, but AMD is small compared to Intel.

Reguardless, I'll buy one on release day if for no other reason than to play with OC'ing a new chip.....

And be greatful, that at least, all this crazy specultion has stopped!

i couldnt agree more,too many risky factors in how they did BD,and like you i believe thing will get better
with this uarch,there is a lot they can do with tweaking this to something special in the future
i will buy one and i'm sure they will sell many of the FX chips,especially at price at less than $250
