Should we expect AMD Athlon XP with 400MHz FSB in May?
A message from Taiwan, referring to undisclosed sources, informs that in May AMD plans to announce newer Barton-based Athlon XP with 400MHz FSB. The information might have leaked from AMD itself via distributor channels (all these rumours never come straight way.)
According to provisional data, the higher FSB clock speed will be the only difference. Pity, but processor clocks haven´t been disclosed yet. Despite all of the above, many makers believe the chip will appear in volumes only in Q3 about the time Athlon 64 should be announced.
As for the mobo support, first-tier manufacturers along with VIA Technologies and SiS intend to release necessary products in April.
