still slower that AXP 2800+ T-bred in clock speed.SO the limit as been reach on K7.
Bad assumption.

The fact that the 2800+ T-bred has higher MHz proves that the limit has <i>not</i> been reached. Plus, current .13u AthlonXPs apparently have very little problem overclocking beyond 2.5GHz. Clearly this bit of news proves nothing about MHz limits of either AthlonXP or Hammer. :tongue:

Probably the only reason clock speeds are being held back is marketing. AMD wants to keep the K7 core from eating into its initial lower-speed Hammer range. It sucks, but I can understand why they're doing it.
