got my info here: http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/roadmaps/amd_12-2000_roadmap/
It appears that in Q2 of 2001 the Palomino will debut at speeds of 1.5GHz using the pure "cool" silicon. The article did not specifically mention cool silicon. It did however mention the Palomino using technology that allows it to run on 20% less power, and put out 30% less heat.
Along with Palomino we will see Tyan dual CPU MoBos sporting the AMD760 chipset and DDR technology.
And here is the best part. We will also see a value processor with less L2 cache using the same cool silicon. The new CPU, which will debut at 900-1000MHz, is code named "Morgan". It will be the equivalent of a "Duron 2" The article did not mention if it was supposed to run at 100/200 or 133/266 FSB. I think AMD will leave it crippled at 100/200 to define it as being the low-end "Value" CPU. If they are crippled this is great news if the multiplier pins are removed (like rumors say they Palomino's will). We will have the option to run them at 133 FSB and OC them without weird PCI bus speeds like an Athlon at 166 would have. If the next Duron OCs anything like the first one, we could be seeing them OCed to 1.5GHz come May. This is great news, a "Value" cool silicon CPU.
