Strategy

The Athlon Thunderbird 1000-MHz processor ushered in a new core revision with greater overclocking potential than previous models. A large percentage of the Socket-A version of this chip can effectively scale past 1200 MHz with the addition of a quality heatsink cooler. A smaller number has reached toward 1400 MHz with extreme cooling. The Thunderbird 1000 is also the last Slot A Athlon to be released.
