I can't find anything like this on the AMD site.

Umm yeah its on the site under the specific CPU.
under Product information, on the left there is "Processor Roadmap"

This isn't written by you is it?

no...
i am rather a computer newbie...(started with a p1 in late 1999)

the 386-40 is a rather newer addition to my antique software collection.
it has 16 megs of ram and runs win95 quite well.
believe it or not...by pulling a few tricks...i put it on a 40meg harddrive!

btw: most of my machines are AMD based
not knocking Intel at all...simply use AMD because they work quite well
and cost less.

btw: one comment i always get about AMD is that they run hotter than
Intel...
that's true but of course it does not mean there's anything bad about it...

i;ve had a couple of cpu cooling fans go during the past few years...
and though the cpu got too hot too touch...did not fail!

It's not necessarily true that AMD CPUs run hotter.

The Athlon XP will idle hotter if the motherboard's BIOS disables the
bus-disconnect (or doesn't enable it, whichever way you like to look at
it) but if that is enabled the idle temp is quite lower, within reasonable
distance of a P4, though perhaps still a little hotter.

However, at full load the high-end P4 chips run hotter than Athlon XP,
including Northwood and even moreso Prescott.

Then if we consider Athlon 64, the P4 is MUCH hotter at full load and
closer, but perhaps a bit hotter at idle.

Keep in mind these are "moving targets" since each 'sink could be retail
or other and that top speed per core could be compared or equivalent
performance overall or any combination of factors. I only meant to
provide a rough estimate.
