I consider the plan for sledgehammer to be best idea of AMD in a string of good ideas starting with the Athlon. Tje Sledgehammer concept was, in part, began due to a suggestion of IBM based on their market experiences and it clearly focuses on what I want in fast computer. It addresses directly what has been missing in X86 cpus in comparison to the workstation chips; floating point speed particularly with double precision numbers. The Sledgehammer should remove the performance advantage the 64 bit chips have enjoyed for some time in applications for virtual reality games and for numeric workstations. I am looking forward it!
