I'll give you the basic jist of the articles. The barton is a great with the extra cache mem. It meets or beats the P4 3.06Ghz in most reviews. What does that mean? Intel has more speedy chips up their sleeves, but for us deal hunters, expect the prices on thoroughbred chips to plummet! w00t.

The new 3000+ chip will list for $588, nearly $200 more than its Athlon XP 2800+. Higher prices hold the potential to translate to positive results on earnings. AMD, which put together a string of earnings report losses during 2002, expects to break even in the second quarter of this year on the strength of better sales of processors like the 3000+ and flash memory. The company hopes that a cost-saving plan put into motion at the end of the third quarter of 2002 will help it along as well.
