More details leak of AthlonXP, MP

And, as we also reported early, AMD will follow this announcement up on October the 15th and 16th with the introduction of Athlon MP processors at 1.4GHz and 1.53GHz.

Nor has AMD stopped its wilful price cutting, and despite this being the worst ever period of selling chips, it will once more tweak La Intella's beard by dropping prices on October the 25th/26th next.

We will report on La Intella's rather sensational price cuts elsewhere during the day.

There is a whole spate of AMD MP-tested mobos arriving over the next 60 days and here is some solid information on the items bobbing up and down in the spume.

In the next 30 days we will see the Asus A7M DLS Rev 1.01, Gigabyte's 7DPXDW Rev 0.1, MSI MS6501 Rev 0C, and Abit's WA-2A Rev 1.

In the 30 days after that we will spot Chaintech's 7KDP, Epox' M762A, Iwill's DA266RN, Soyo's DK7VA and Tyan's 2468 K7X Thunder.

Nary a sign of a Supermicro board there. Cough.

Meanwhile, we have unauthorised sight of an AMD NDA. And we thought ones from La Intella were scary... µ
