OcPrices has taken AMD's New Athlon XP 1800+! CPU that utilise Thoroughbred B0 core for a spin! Here's a byte.
Here at OcPrices, we have a relatively large turnaround of AMD processors, and in constructing a couple of machines of late, I have noticed a phenomenal increase in overclockability. My latest wunder-chip is a Malaysian XP1800+, with the following stepping:

As you can see, this particular chip was originally a 2600+, and AMD have simply siphoned off batches from faster production lines to supplement slower models where demand is higher. Just goes to show how much profit margin there is on an XP2600+ if they can be marketed and sold as a mere 1800+ ;-)
