PG - Re: "The benchmarks posted clearly state that Williamette does x87 FPU instructions at 800Mhz no faster than a Celeron at 550Mhz. "

And what benchmarks are these ?

Re: "By the way, in the 5% Sledgehammer debate, I think you forget that the internals of RISC based designs like Athlon and even Coppermine, have 64 bit datapaths in the FPU portion (actually 80 bit for x87 and 128 bit for SSE), within the integer units for multiply and divide, and any stuff L1 and beyond. "

Good point.

However, The SludgePumper is still in the design stage - with AMD scrambling to hire designers. How could AMD make a die size estimate 9 months ago when they still (9 months later) don't even have the design team in place?

The SludgePumper is nothing more than a prayer for AMD.
