AMD plans faster Athlons soon

[Keefe]

CNET has an official report of the next set of AMD Athlon processors to come out:

Advanced Micro Devices will rev up the performance of its Athlon XP processor with new models, due later this month.
The chipmaker will introduce, at a minimum, an Athlon XP 2400+ and an Athlon XP 2600+ for desktop PCs toward the end of the month, sources familiar with AMD's plans said. AMD is also evaluating whether to increase the speed of the chip's front-side bus--the pathway used to shuttle data between the processor and PC memory. Doing so would boost the performance of future Athlon-based PCs.

The newest Athlon XPs will help AMD increase its competitiveness archrival Intel's Pentium 4. The Pentium 4 currently tops out at 2.53GHz, while AMD's highest performance Athlon XP is a 2200+ model, which runs at 1.8GHz.
