Another Athlon XP 2100+ review, this time from PC Stats
The number 21 has always been lucky. Just like a full hand in Black Jack, that first stick of PC2100 DDR, and now the first XP 2100+, we have something very cool in our hands. AMD's Athon XP2100+ is a 1.73GHz processor set to the tune of a 0.18 micron Palomino core and a spritely green OPGA package. The XP lineup features QuantiSpeed Architecture, 384KB of cache, and continuing support of AMD's 3DNow! technology. Like other Athlon XP processors, the XP2100+ works with a 266MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and comes from the AMD fab in Dresden Germany, where they make good sausages. The newest processor in AMD's successful Athlon XP lineup is being launched officially at CeBit 2002 today along with the Athlon MP 2000+ for servers and Athlon 4 1600+ for notebooks. The Athlon XP 2100+ processor is priced at around $420USD (in OEM quantities), which is less expensive then comparable Intel Pentium 4 offerings.Read more
