Pete, <If all they do is cut and paste two CPU cores and SMP NB onto the same die, it is relatively simple. ... If they do more, it will probably slip as marketing seems to count on breakthroughs on a regular basis.>

They are doing more. They have to be if they keep insisting that Sledgehammer will be 4 to 8-way SMP. And given how "tough" it seems for AMD to reach 2-way SMP, I don't expect them to have enough R&D resources to devote to both Clawhammer and Sledgehammer.

<IMO, surprises forward are more appreciated and would lead to higher customer satisfaction in the long run.>

Well yeah, but what do you expect marketing to do about that? Sandbag?
