>AMD is taking just as big of a risk with x86-64.< No bigger than with 3DNow!. 3DNow! increased the die size of K6-2 to 81mm2 versus 68mm2 for K6. This is a 20% increase in die size without any fundamental change in micro-architecture. AMD estimates that x86-64 increases die size by only 5%. Of course, Hammer implements a new micro-architecture, so the die size will actually increase from 80mm2 (or perhaps 90mm2 if Barton has a 512KB L2 cache) to 105mm2, which is less than the increase in die size from K6(-2) to K7.
