AMD's Hamsters are 18 months away and they may already be SLOWER than the existing 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 !

It's not such a shame being slower than a 1.7GHz P4, everything else on the planet is too. But 18 months from now it will be a disaster. With AMD's price war and the subsequent lowering of ASPs, AMD's one trick pony (Athlon) will not provide the cash flow to fund development of the breadth of products AMD needs to stay competitive. Throw in the slow transition to a .13u process and the lack of a 300mm plan and you have a real problem brewing about 18 months out. No SMP and no server products in a world of permanently depressed desktop ASPs and you have little cash to fund R&D. What can AMD sell off next to infuse cash?
