News: Barton Engineering Sample

[Staff]

VRzone.com ha pubblicato la foto di un Athlon basato su core Barton, si tratta di un Engineering Sample.<br>
Il seriale è AXDA1833DKT4D AIUAA, la dimensione del core è maggiore rispetto all'attuale Thoroughbread, ciò è dovuto al maggior quantitativo di cache L2: 512Kb.

This is probably the first Barton engineering sample AXDA1833DKT4D AIUAA that looks pretty much like the current T'Bred with all the bridges intact. If you look closely, the die is longer than the current T'Bred B (84mm2) due to the increase in L2 cache to 512KB. Under WCPUID, the Model becomes 10 and stepping becomes 0. Barton sports a FSB of 333Mhz initially and might just be improved to 400Mhz to better compete against the 800Mhz FSB P4 next year.
