t-break has published a review for the ASUS KT333 motherboard. Rumors say that the new VIA chipset will ship after Cebit 2002 at the latest.
As much as we love our Athlons, we have to agree that the P4 runs cooler and is less likely to burn. When AMD released the Athlon XP, they offered a way for SOME kind of protection through the on-die temperature sensor that could be used to prevent overheating. However, almost all motherboard manufacturers have still not implemented this feature. Now on the A7V333, ASUS offers a feature called C.O.P. or CPU Overheating Protection and although nowhere does ASUS mention about C.O.P. taking the reading from the Athlon XP's on-die temperature sensor, we have a feeling that it does because ASUS clearly states in the manual that it only works with the Athlon XP CPU and we couldn't find any thermal sensor under the CPU socket.
