>What is the driving force to validate Clawhammer? The P4 and Itanium will already be well-validated at that point... and that presumes that Clawhammer will show up on time, WITH real software support.<

Not all IT departments will be validating P4 in Q1 2002. Indeed, if Intel is right about the 3 year replacement cycle beginning in Q2 2002, the number of IT departments doing validation before Clawhammer ships could be much less than half. But most of the validation should be over with by mid-2003, so if it takes AMD as long to rally platform support for Clawhammer as for Athlon, that could be all she wrote.

AMD's best move would be to guarantee that Athlon will remain an actively supported product through the 0.10-micron generation, right up to the switch to 0.07-micron. Of course, to guarantee optimum acceptance AMD would also have to commit to ramping a new 300mm wafer fab no later than mid-2003.
