Chuckles - Re: "Foster will get killed by Sledgehammer. "
Sure, Chuckles !
Now all that AMD has to do is DESIGN that Sudgehummer !
And judging by all the AMD want ads below, you can even join AMD and help them !
Of course, Willamette/Foster first silicon is almost ready - but AMD is just starting to hire Sludgehummer support staff !
Since AMD is still hiring Sludgehummer designers, just when do you think they will burp up a 64 bitter?
