Well here we go again, the new chips are here.
SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices, fierce rivals in the market for microprocessors, are expected Monday to announce their fastest-ever chips, analysts said, continuing the pair's long rivalry.
Advanced Micro Devices will debut its Athlon XP 2000+, which runs at 1.67 gigahertz, or 1.67 billion cycles a second, while Intel will unveil its new Pentium 4 chip running at 2.2 gigahertz, analysts said.
Currently, Intel's fastest chip is the Pentium 4 running at 2 gigahertz, and Advanced Micro's is its Athlon XP1900+, which runs at 1.6 gigahertz. Last year, AMD briefly claimed the fastest running chip, although Intel has since pulled ahead and is likely to stay there.
