The MSI K7TPro is one of the first boards available, it has most of the needed features. I definitely hope to see that there is an option to change the CPU mutliplier to test on this Thunderbird which is most likely to be unlocked. I particularly like the auto step down to default FSB feature which is not found on most other boards, this features reduces the chances of us resetting the CMOS again and again during overclocking. No battery life figures given. Filling the gap between 866MHz.
Technology marches on at a relentless, blindingly fast pace.
In the Semiconductor space, tomorrow often comes VERY soon. This is a review of a product brought to market with Intel's latest technology in processor fabrication. Let's see what it's made of. One thing you will notice in the above picture of the Pentium III die is the fact that the L2 Cache area is by far the largest section of the chip. That is because it takes exponentially more circuit area to design a memory structure comparatively to the logic structures that make up the Integer and Floating Point units, for example.
