Clawhammer - more speculation here

Samples at CeBIT?

By Mike Magee, 24/01/2002 09:45:18 BST

AN ENTERPRISING reader of the INQ has contacted the owner of
the Czech site which published a SPECint chart and has asked him some
pertinent questions about the up-and-coming AMD microprocessor.

See Clawhammer performance projected.

The Czech owner of the site that published the AMD figures told our
reader the figures came from AMD's Fred Weber, who has a senior
development role for Hammer technology.

He asked whether Clawhammer was sampling and the Web owner said he
believed it was sampling in both silicon on insulator (SOI) and on a .13
micron process, with AMD set to show off samples of the chip at the up
and coming CeBIT 2002 trade fair.

He also thinks that Clawhammer will be up for sale before December of
this year and that it will integrate Hypertransport, and memory in its
north bridge, with only the AGP controller being off the core.

This last is well known, however our reader points out that chipset
roadmaps from Via, SIS and ALI all indicate they will produce north
bridges for Hammer too.

Perhaps the onboard Clawhammer north bridge will be disable so that the
three chipset manufacturers can get a look in, he speculates. µ
