Nothing matters any more!

Got the news when I went to the link for the 400MHz official Barton news post that volt made:

Oh no!

I guess it makes sense though. Everything's invalid in the end. :D

Works fine here :D

Here is the translation:

AMD comes nevertheless with 200 MHz FSB processors

After rumors and assumptions lasting for weeks now probably it appears that AMD processors with 200 MHz FSB will introduce. How we experienced from manufacturer close circles will present, the relevant rumors will prove to be true and appropriate processors with a Modelrating of 3000+ and 3200+ to AMD, whereby one could report us here still nothing to the exact data of the introduction. Probably however one us whom to the clocking of the models, which will be based on the recent beard on core, could, report. So is the Athlon XP 3000+ with material 2100 MHz, to which XP 3200+ with 2200 MHz clock into running are sent.

It could be again the Modelrating, which turns out during introduction of these new models to the criticism. If we remember the introduction of the past Athlon XP 3000+, then the probably crudest criticism lay in the range of the p-Rating, because the processor working with 512 KB L2 Cache had to dissociate itself trouble in current comparisons from the models XP 2700+ and in particular 2800+ with 256 KB Cache clearly.

If our information should prove to be true, then AMD became with the coming model 3000+ the increased FSB by reduction of the processor clock by 67 MHz opposite the past XP 3000+ appreciates. In the case is to be assumed coming 200 MHz FSB the 3000+ to the past model with 166 MHz FSB in some applications of tests will have been subject. This results from the fact that some uses, in particular bench mark from the range of the professional Renderings, nearly not at all from an increase of the FrontSideBus profit, but exclusive of an increase of the material processor clock. Similarly one must announce doubts then naturally also to the XP 3200+ with material 2200 MHz clock, because one would lie here then straight once 33 MHz over the past clock of the XP 3000+ with 166 MHz FSB. in such a way could the Modelrating into the criticism turn out again clearly.

Naturally it applies to consider also further that AMD its Modelrating does not fasten 4 processors at the clock of Pentium. Rather the model designation is directed toward the comparison to the betagten predecessor Athlon Thunderbird and by means of a AMD bench mark test is determined. If one considers however the fact that since the introduction of the Modelratings nearly two years passed could lie straight here the crack point. AMD must use the identical tests for the comparability of the Ratings also further for determination and not scale possibly these tests any longer conformal to today current, usual applications. In this case a dilemma, because AMD must record at least still another one while to the past determination of the Modelratings.

But however the Modelrating comes, the final customer becomes also in the future further (wrong?) And remain he draws which conclusions then, in particular with consideration of the new Intel appearing in Baelde models with FSB 800 draw comparison between the Modelrating and a equivalent Pentium 4 processor, being waiting.

Thanks for the translation volt. After I posted that screenie, I discovered that I could get to that page if I clicked their 'News' link at the top. Still, the fact that 'At the beginning of /end is invalid' struck me as a bit funny.

Oh well, it was probably something in my morning coffee. :p
