1.6GHz Alpha to be fastest Quake chip on planet is a headline of interest on THE REGISTER, known for often being one step ahead of the techie news scene, but consequently known for often being led astray by false conjecture as well. I saw that on The Shugashack along with another story that says AMD to intro K8 at Microprocessor Forum, saying AMD will announce details of the 64-bit successor to the Athlon next month.
