Re: Hammer has the new Windows design win, but developer commitments have yet to happen. It's just a 32-bit chip until it has 64-bit software. No matter how you spin it, Hammer needs 64-bit code to run in 64-bit. That still makes it no better than Itanium. There is a big difference, Hammer runs very well with 32-bit software - Itanic doesn't. Pentium was "just a 16-bit chip" according to your definition when let Intel take over the CPU business. Consider it this way, if you had your choice between two chips with roughly the same price and performance (on the installed base of 32-bit software), but one was 32 bit only and the other was 64 bit, which would you buy? If it were your own money being spent, ignoring who made if for now (choose between P4 and Yamhill, for example). Which would you buy, the 32-bit chip or the 64-bit chip?
