Elmer, I am not talking about where NW performance is or whether Hammer is going to be out on time or not. If it does and if it meets its performance rating, it will be substantialy quicker than NW at 3Ghz.

What do you base this on? Is the 3400+ compared to what a Palomino would do at 3.4GHz? That seems to be how AMD defines their Quantihurts and it does not compare SPEC scores. A 3.4GHz Palomino would not match a 3GHz Northwood, particularly if the NW was running RDRAM on a 533MHz FSB. AMD refuses to quantify their Hammer hype and considering their many problems you can't blame them. You guys have bought the hype hook, line and sinker but you're the same guys who believe AMD has "World Class Yields" even though they can't ship anything. AMD has nothing to sell now but hype so of course it's going to be world class. What else would you expect?
