AMD is preparing to take its Athlon MP server line to 1.4GHz real soon now.

Certainly, the part has appeared on at least one online chip reseller's price lists. Take a look at ENPC.com, we were told, so we did, and there we found this page.

The company is offering a 1.4GHz, 266MHz frontside bus Athlon MP for $309 if you buy over the phone or $295 if you buy online, some $66 more than it's asking for the 1.2GHz part. To date, AMD has only announced 1.0GHz and 1.2GHz, which it launched early June. The new part's Enpc product code is CPU-AMDMP1400.

ENPC.com reckons the part will ship on the 5 August. ®
