Re: If you think a Server CPU can go from LIMITED sampling in Q4 2001 You keep missing the point. The hammers aren't server CPUs, they are X86 CPUs. AMD is dumping 32bit processors for everything except notebooks and "internet appliance" entry level PCs. P4 is like the 286 after the 386 came out. There wasn't any 64 bit software yet, but the 386 was at least as fast as the 286, and no one wanted to buy obsolete hardware when current equipment didn't cost much more. So 286 (P4) systems were sold very cheap, or not at all. The hammers will run mainstream (32 bit) software at blazing speed and run even better, for the few programs where it matters, on 64 bit software. And cost no more than Intel's competing 32 bit CPUs.
