Scumbria,

Thank you for your thoughts and I agree with you, I am not as well versed in all of the competitive offerings that you mentioned but I think all this talk about 64 bits is missing the point. IA-64 is more than just 64 bits and I sure hope AMD realizes that. Simply extending the x86 instruction set to 64 bits will not cut it in the market segment that Itanium is meant for. Maybe that is why Jerry said in the last conference call that AMD was not in competition with Itanium, he knows that Sledgehammer is only aimed at workstations (and servers, but not the same level of servers as Itanium) Itanium is in a whole different league than Sledgehammer and not because of 64 bits. Is this an accurate assesment in your opinion?

Thanks,

Epinephrine
