<font color=red>CH 20to25% faster in 32 bit & 38to44% in 64 bit than a Athlon. ClawHammer 20-25% Faster than Athlon in 32-bit (AMD) By Brian Neal Monday, March 18, 2002 8:28 AM EST Thanks to wlaote for digging up this article (German) discussing some details on ClawHammer from AMD's Jan Gütter. From the report, ClawHammer is apparently 20 to 25 percent faster than the current Athlon XP at the same clockrate in 32-bit applications. Applications compiled for x86-64 running in 64-bit mode exhibit an additional 15 percent performance increase, as has been reported previously. Mr. Gütter also stated that power consumption should not be worse than it is with the Athlon XP, though it was not clear which processes he was referring to (ClawHammer will be on 0.13µ, but Athlon XP is currently on 0.18µ). He also stated that clockrate would become less important in the future because of Hammer's IPC improvement over the Athlon core, and that ClawHammer will initially sell at a premium over Athlon XP, but prices should fall over time. Furthermore, Planet3DNow also had an opportunity to sit down with AMD Product Manager John Crank and ask a few questions here (German). There isn't much new information here, but Mr. Crank confirms that SledgeHammer will have up to 1 MB of L2 cache and a 128-bit DDR SDRAM memory interface. Multi-core versions of SledgeHammer were also denied to be in development.
