This is the 16th processor in the popular XP series (the launch of the 2800 version at 2250 MHz for the press doesn't really count, in our opinion). It represents the 10th stage in the AMD Athlon's evolution, a feat no other processor architecture can claim to match. Since the Athlon design was launched in 1998 - when it began soundly trouncing the Pentium III - AMD has tweaked the processor heavily and locked horns with Intel's P4.
