<Do try to analyze the situation - instead of making off-the-wall-wild-*ss-prayers as to the eventual success of AMD's 18 month-in-the-future-SludgeHummer.> To put it bluntly, I am only saying that software infrastructure favors x86-64 vis-a-vis IA-64. Intel can play the same ball game and extend x86. Nothing for AMD is a given unless Intel gives up x86 instructions. Even then, I am not saying anything about eventual success of Sledgehammer. As things stand right now AMD has an opportunity but I am not betting on anything AMD past Q4 '00 - not yet anyway.
