So the Athlon XP 2100+ is set to climb to the top of the heap for x86 performance, right? Well, perhaps, but it has a few strikes against it. For one, the Athlon XP remains on the same 266MHz front-side bus as ever, and it's made using AMD's now-familiar 180-nanometer fabrication process. There are questions about how well the Athlon XP will scale as AMD ratchets up the clock speed independent of other improvements.
Plus, I really need to find a way to make this review interesting, so why not bring it up? Anyhow, we'll benchmark this puppy and find out.
