i get the idea...but the point behind what i sed was that barton cores are good, so y did they finish them in the first place...

Because the A64 came out which was the new technology. And to produce two totally different chips at the same time just doesnt make business sense. Especially if everybody is going out and buying the A64

if producing 2 different chips at the same time dont make sense, then whats with 754 n 939....and intel wise...478 n 775?

Both the 754 and 478 will stop production soon too. They cant just stop the production line dead as soon as a new chip comes out. But guaranteed, they will drop them soon, in favor of producing the current and future generation of chips.

you mean 775 for intel, and 939 and m2 for amd...

I actually HOPE the processor is bigger... Because more pimps on a smaller cpu = way easier to fuck up on accident.

Also, it's too bad that the M2 cpu's won't be 65nm

I didnt realise processors had whore rental as an inbuilt feature

Rofl mate I can't believe I accidentally put that shit. I guess my mind really is in the gutter all the time.

Actually:

* Because current socket A motherboards wouldnt support a 4000+ chip, so motherboard manufacturers would need to make new bios's or release new boards (which they wouldnt be arsed to do for a dead technology).

* Because the yeild rates of making Socket A XP processors would probably be crap.

* Because AMD want people to use their latest processors.

* Because the production line for XP chips has stopped. And to reopen it would be just stupid and costly.

Want me to carry on....

I had a different idea of what you were going to post :rollingla
