Mikhailtech has posted an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ Thorougbred CPU review



Since the core is built on 0.13 micron process, the voltage required to run it was lowered from 1.750V for the Palomino to 1.650V for the TBred. This, combined with the thinner traces, should really make the CPU run a lot cooler, but then again the smaller the core the harder it is to dissipate the heat. The OPN (Ordering Part Number) has also changed from the old Palomino. For instance, the Athlon XP 2000+ based on Palomino core would have had the following OPN: AX2000MT3C, where AX represents the core, Athlon XP Palomino, 2000 is the rating and the other digits represent the voltage, FSB, maximum temperature for the core and package type (socket or slot). The OPN for the Athlon XP Thoroughbred I tested is: AXDA2200KV3C.
