Re: Further, Barton seems to be slipping away. No mention of SOI K7 in the press release. The statement about 100% conversion to .13u by the end of 2002 looks less and less impressive, if a substantial percentage is not high performance (and high ASP SOI parts).

Joe, my take is that it's starting to look like the K6-III+/Athlon transition. The K6-III+ was solidly on AMD's roadmap, but primarily as a backup in case Athlon didn't pan out. So far, Clawhammer appears to be doing better than expected, and if that continues to be the case, we may see volume Clawhammer in Q4 and few, if any desktop Bartons, ever.

If Clawhammer runs into problems, Q4 will be "Barton Time!" - and maybe Q1, as well.

No talk about Hammer or Barton would be bad news. Lots of attention for Barton this year and Hammer next year (which was what everyone was expecting a few months ago) would be OK news. Lots of talk of Hammer for this year and Barton not being worth bothering about anymore is (I think) good news.
