AMD finally breaks the 3GHz barrier

AMD finally breaks the 3GHz barrier
AMD IS DESPERATELY trying to rebound against the impressive Intel Conroe demo shown at IDF, weeks back. While we know that Woodcrest is on target for a Q4 introduction as well, things are heating up in the processing arena.

AMD will use its 65 nanometre party in Prague next week to talk about the progress company is making with production ramp of its Fab 36, but at the same time, the company will introduce its fastest clocked production CPU. Yes, AMD is finally introducing a 3GHz part, breaking a "record" set by the infamous Athlon 64 FX-57, a 2.8GHz clocked part released back in 2005.
