"ClawHammer will be very different from Athlon"

Now that's an understatement...

To the point that I am a little dubious about it being the case. About the only way to shoe horn a core like that into 100mm^2 would be to equip it with a Duron-like amount of cache, certainly not the 512k to 1Meg that many are expecting. If this is actually the core, I would expect the Hammers to be non-SMT, but the Dog series to SMT-enabled. Sort of like the EV7 and EV8 were supposed to be. And with what appears to be like 14 stages or so, It ought to have a lot of clock rate headroom. No wonder AMD wasn't interested in making Alphas...
