>I don't know about that, Bill. AMD showed their Hammer slides at MPF, and as far as I could tell, there is little difference micro-architecturally from the K7. I don't believe that Hammer will have anything but incremental benefits over K7.<

My SWAG is that they will achieve at least a 20% increase in peak clock rate, slightly higher average IPC for single tasking, and significantly higher IPC for multitasking and multiprocessing.

But you are right, they did not significantly change the micro-architecture, just increased and rebalanced the pipeline plus making a few other changes that could be made with Athlon itself.
