Prosessor question !
« on: June 21, 2000, 04:43:00 AM »
I just wonder, what is the difference between AMD 1GHZ Athlon and AMD 1GHZ Thunderbird ?

They even got the same price.

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Thunderbird has the cache in the processor itself. Athlon has this cache into the black box, but not into the processor. So, expect a better performance in Thunderbird.

Hightlights: copper vs aluminum, 350mz vs full speed L2 cache, slot 1 Vs socketA, etc.etc.
