Question:
How much will the AMD AthlonT processor cost?
And how much are initial AMD Athlon processor-based
systems expected to cost?
Answer:
Processor price (in 1,000-unit quantities) Approximate (typical) system
price point
600-MHz AMD Athlon - $699 as low as $1999
550-MHz AMD Athlon - $479 as low as $1599
500-MHz AMD Athlon - $324 as low as $1299
[...]
Question:
What chipsets and motherboards are available
to support the AMD Athlon processor?
Answer:
AMD plans to support the AMD Athlon processor by delivering
its own high-performance, optimized chipset solution. In addition,
AMD is working with leading third-party chipset suppliers,
including VIA Technologies, Acer Laboratories, Inc., ALi,
and others, to deliver solutions optimized for AMD Athlon
processor-based systems using Slot A infrastructure.
AMD is also working with key motherboard vendors,
including AsusTech, Biostar, FIC, Microstar,
and Gigabyte to provide optimized motherboards
for the AMD Athlon processor. Additional motherboard
suppliers are planned for 1999.

Question:
Can I upgrade my AMD-K6R-2 or AMD-K6-III processor-based
system to the AMD AthlonT processor?
Answer:
No. The AMD AthlonT processor is a totally new architecture
and system platform demanding a new set of thermal and electrical
specifications and enclosure requirements to match its leading-edge
performance capabilities.
Question:
Is the AMD AthlonT processor (using AMD's Slot A) compatible
with Intel's PentiumR III (using Slot 1) motherboards?
Answer:
No. The AMD AthlonT processor uses AMD's Slot A module design,
which is mechanically compatible with Slot 1 motherboards
but uses a different electrical interface. Because Slot A and Slot 1
infrastructures are not electrically compatible, the AMD Athlon
processor cannot work with Slot 1 motherboards. Slot A is designed
to connect electrically to a 200-MHz system bus based
on the AlphaT EV6 bus protocol, thus delivering a significant
performance advantage over Slot 1 infrastructure.
