Fyo, <they have several patents in the area and the "dual core" / "not dual core" of the Sledgehammer could well turn out to be SMT.>

I don't understand what you are saying here. It's highly doubtful that Sledgehammer has SMT in the same fashion as Pentium 4 (Xeon). It's a lot easier to design a dual-core processor than an SMT one. And with AMD's lack of experience in multiprocessing, they're more likely to go down the path of least resistance, i.e. dual-core.

Of course, I still think Sledgehammer will enter oblivion, or at least be repositioned as part of a 2-way SMP platform.
