Re: "The sledgehammer will be based on the K7 core, will you consider it to be in the same generation?" Max what I consider to be 6th or 7th generation processors is unimportant. I'm simply pointing out that claims of K7 being a generation ahead are pretty hollow when AMD runs out of excuses for the performance comparisons between both processors running optimized code. Yes K7 runs unoptimized code a little faster than CuMine but remember the K6 ran 16 bit code a little faster than PPro but who cares about that anymore? We had a situation in the past where AMD's 6th generation processor ran old code faster than Intel's 6th generation processor ran old code. Now we have a situation where AMD's 7th generation processor runs 7th generation code no faster than Intel's 6th generation processor runs 6th generation code. In which case I submit that there is no generation gap and claims of such are now exposed. I just wish Intel would offer a 512K L2 CuMine or a 64K L1 version because clearly the 6th generation would blow away the 7th. And what if Intel offered a 200MHz FSB? EP
