Epinephrine, <[easier conversion of 32 bit apps] is the true advantage that Sledghammer has over Itanium>

I'm beginning to understand your point of view and I mostly agree. I do think there are significant workstation applications that would like to address > 4G of memory linearly. I suspect Sledgehammer will have 128 bit busses to memory, but that could be done on an IA-32 CPU also.
