AMD사의 Thoroughbred 와 Palomino 의 차이점은 무엇인가라는 궁금증에 약간의 대답이 되는 글이 xbitlabs.com 올라와 있습니다..
원문내용을 인용하면 Thoroughbred 와 Palomino 의 차이점은 0.18공정에서 0.13 공정으로 사용해서 생산하는것이 틀린점이고 그외는 거의 틀린점을가지고 있지 않다고 언급하고 있습니다.. 자세한 내용은 원문을 참조바랍니다...

On the Differences between Thoroughbred and Palomino
Posted 12/18/01 at 6:05 pm by Rat
We have already mentioned in our news that AMD is going to introduce its first Athlon XP processor built on the new 0.13micron Thoroughbred core in the end of Q1?2. We would like to remind you, that the newcomer is supposed to work at 1.67GHz and to be marked as 2000+, which is the same frequency and rating as those of the last Athlon XP based on the Palomino core, which should be announced in early January 2002. This coincidence has already pushed us towards the idea that 0.18micron Palomino and 0.13micron Thoroughbred cores do not have any architectural differences. In other words, Palomino and Thoroughbred working at the give core clock will show identical performance.
Today our suppositions got an official confirmation. AMD representative, Damon Muzny said in an interview to CPUTimes site the following things:
The transition to .13 is a die shrink only. There are no architecture changes associated with that. So processors will function the same... just smaller, faster and cooler as they scale up. Also, shrinking the die to .13 means getting more dies per wafer, improving production and lowering manufacturing costs... which only makes us more competitive.
This way, AMD hasn뭪 prepared any surprise for Intel in response to the doubling of the L2 cache in its pentium4 (Northwood) processors. The company hasn뭪 yet prepared anything. However, we shouldn뭪 forget that in H2?2 AMD will introduce a new Barton core manufactured with SOI technology, which is very likely to have some architectural enhancements.
