"The immediate goal is to make it to corporate desktop, workstation and low end 2-way servers." That's for ClawHammer, assuming that AMD has any shot at all for the Fortune 100s in the US. Apparently the 760MP systems have met with at least some acceptance, although I don't think that those customers are going to be using 8 way systems. But who knows? Assuming that the Hammer really will be along the lines of what Hans has diagrammed, an 8 way SledgHammer (4 processors, each with 2 cores) will be an enormously powerful machine. Even with the additional pipeline stages, each core could have a 25% IPC advantage over a Palomino and it could clock up to 3GHz or higher. Even running at 2GHz, it would be the equivalent of a mid-range Alpha system at a fraction of the cost. Unless AMD feels they can get $3k or more per SledgeHammer, that is. So where are they going to sell the things?
