AMD K8: nails ready, Hammer not

Tape worm turns
By Adamson Rust, 17/10/2001 11:26:10 BST

WHILE THE support chips for AMD's K8 microprocessor are either taped out or will tape out within a few days, sources at Fab 30 in Dresden tell the INQUIRER the core chip still hasn't quite reached that stage.

The same sources continue to insist the Hammer chip itself is a different tale altogether .

The support chips include the south bridge, the AGP 8X bridge and the PCI-X bridge, says our German mole.

Dirk Meyer and his band of merry engineers have some essential tweaking to do before the Itanic-threatening beastie reaches the tape out stage, we are informed.
