Tony: before all the infrastructure is in place for the new Chammer so OEMs can actually build PCs, it's probably mid-2003, and it's Hello Prescott!

It's just that when so many things are new at the same time, delays get compounded. Do the third parties (chipset folks) have Clawhammer chips in their hands for design and design verification purposes? Same question for the mobo people and Linux people.

What are the odds that AMD is working closely with a top OEM or two (likely candidates would be Compaq and Fujitsu-Siemens, IMHO) for the introduction?

I'm talking purely 32bit Windows here. I don't see a 64bit OS *really* ready for the start. Linux is bound to be the only one close, bit there will almost certainly be issues that crop up only once final hardware is available for testing.

As for 64bit servers, I would say (and I think this is pretty much what you are saying) that 1H03 is what one can expect. 1Q03 would be quite an accomplishment.
