This Japanese site posted a couple of slides showing AMD’s roadmap in the CPU field.
To tell the truth, there is not so much new info there, because all these facts have already appeared on our site. We were very much excited however about the new 2800+ CPU, which appeared on the roadmap, however, this is not a very new thing too. This is most likely to be an Athlon built on 0.13micron Barton core (512KB L2 cache), which AMD will start producing by UMS in Q4 2002. All the rest seems to be unchanged: Q3 – Athlon XP 2400+, Q4 – Athlon on 0.13micron ClawHammer and 3400+ rating, next year the rating is expected to grow up to 4000+ and then to 4400+ (after they move to 0.09micron).
As for the mobile plans, here things are pretty settled as always. Thoroughbred everywhere (later on the might also shift to Barton), and only in H2 2003 mobile Hammer is to come. It will be made with 0.09micron technology.
By the way, it is absolutely unclear to me why they still have Appaloosa on their roadmap (0.13micron Duron), as the sources (including official ones) claim that they will never release this CPU core.
