Hmm, I finished listening the conference telecast this morning. I haven't see the following noted on this thread before: In one of the charts that was charting the AMD processor performance vs the "Moor's law" curve (showing AMD processors ahead of the curve)- the chart had the P4 as a blue "Box" on the curve showing up at around 12/00. At the same place the AMD processor was shown slightly above the P-4. The same chart had the "sledgehammer" on it. This chart was drawn in proportion to a 1Ghz Athlon performance. Anyway, the Sledgehammer was shown at 3X the 1GHz Athlon, but some where around June/July 2002!! I don't think that Derk specifically mentioned that he expected clawhammer to be 3X 1GHz Athlon. According to this chart, that would be Sledgehammer around the middle of 2002! Some other observations: * Rambus seems to have been completely dropped- even from being mentioned in the roadmaps (not too surprising). Dirk specifically mentioned "leveraging" DDR and LDT in the "hammer" series. * No Multi die processors were mentioned. I don't think that the initial Sledgehammer series would be multi die. They specifically mentioned Sledgehammer for 4 and 8 way systems (using LDT). No mention of multiple cores/processor. * Palomino was NOT demoed. I found that surprising. Herb (I think) stated that Power Now and 760MP with Athlons was being demoed in the "hall". No mention of Palomino. TG
