Title says it all. There have been rumors about it-but nothing really set in stone. Yes-they will be slow, but hopefully cheap and cool so that might offset them some. :D

I believe there new ones (Not made yet :p ) will be SMP ready, rumor has it that they will also have Full speed FPU pipelines :eek: so no more 1GHz C3 being slower then a 550 P3 :)

That will be good I guess. Having a chip finally running somewhere near the current technology. Any idea on when these will be released?

You're talking about Nehemiah? It's out, full speed FPU, and I think it also has the CMOV instruction, making it an i686 finally, but no SMP as far as I know. SSE, though.

Thats it. Thanks alot. :)

...Now patiently waiting for benchmark results for when the SMP enabled chip comes out! :D
