Just three months ago we introduced you to Green Lightning. With the introduction of the AthlonXP 2100+, AMD was stepping up to the megahertz challenge. Running at a blistering 1.73GHz, the XP2100+ was AMD’s fastest available processor. Yep I said was. The XP2100+ took its place in line to narrow the gap between the higher MHz Intel processors without jeopardizing the monthly house note or your child’s College Fund. In most head to head benchmarks, the XP2100+ held its ground against even the fastest of Intel’s offerings. The megahertz battle continues and again AMD is stepping up to take on the challenge. This time they are riding into battle with a new horse. Known to many of us as the “Thoroughbred”, the XP2200+ is the first of AMD’s .13u process cores. Rumors spread that the Thoroughbred’s official release speeds were to be around 1800+ and then AMD would move up from there. The rumors are now a thing of the past. AMD’s new horse is lean and feeds on less than it’s predecessors. With this fit and trim setup, the XP2200+ is running at 1.80GHz. AMD also opted to maintain the Socket 462 configuration. Keeping with this design the doors to many end users to upgrade to this next generation processor.
