Fyo, Re: "To be honest, I had expected ClawHammer to be much more Athlon-like, with the integrated memory controller and 64-bit'ness as the main differences, with a host of smaller changes" This may still be true. Even though patents have been made, it doesn't mean that these will be implemented in the first revision in the core, or even in the K8 generation. Hans certainly did a detailed and thorough article, and if true, it would certainly be a huge success by any engineering standpoint, but as far as I could tell, the whole thing was highly speculative. Hans mostly showed what a core could look like, if all the patents issued were implemented. If you'll recall, AMD cancelled plans last year for a TFP floating point unit in favor of SSE-2. Very possibly, many other ideas were cancelled or push back in order to get Hammer out for a 2002 release. wanna_bmw
