Speed bumps The ClawHammer will also offer clock speeds of 2GHz or faster, along with performance enhancements such as a built-in memory controller. This will give the chip a 20 to 25 percent performance gain over the current Athlon XP, Crank said. Wasn't the Clawhammer supposed to be introduced at a quantispeed of 3400+? A 3400+ should be 55% faster than today's top Athlon - 2200+: (3400-2200)/2200 = 55%. Yet AMD is now back pedalling to a "20 to 25%" speed improvement for Clawhammer over Athlon. Sounds like the Clawhammer is going to be a disappointment - no?
