Scumbria, from the Register article:

According to rumours, and we stress there is no hard evidence for this as yet, within the community of chip architects in Silicon Valley last week, Intel is readying an alternative 64-bit platform in case it is forced by circumstances to follow AMD's strategy.

Er, as an apparent member in good standing of said community of chip architects, what do you say to that? Given the general speed that Intel is operating at these days, a crash project doesn't seem like that big a worry, but who can say?

For what it's worth, the problem I see with Sledgehammer is software; who's going to do the OS and the compilers? Has there been any word of support by Microsoft on this?

Cheers, Dan.
