AMD"s Palomino processors will launch on 9 October.
Now called the Athlon XP, it will come in 4 speeds - the XP 1500 plus, XP 1600 plus, XP 1700 plus and XP 1800 plus. Prices to OEMs are $115, $124, $152 and $210 respectively, but may vary depending on volume.
The clock speeds of the chips are:
XP 1500 - 1.33GHz
XP 1600 - 1.4GHz
XP 1700 - 1.47GHz

AMD has given the Palominos their 1500 plus etc. names, and not used the clock speeds of the processors, to move away from direct comparisons with Intel processor speeds.
