<I wouldn't be surprised if sledgehammer underperformed willamete (i also wouldn't be surprised at the reverse.) > In this industry anything is possible but I think it is not pragmatic to think that a product that has not yet taped out would be worse than a competitors product that has just seen first silicon. <I don't know how anyone could really talk with certainty comparing two platforms that aren't out yet.> Since Wilamette started getting close to tapeout in Q4 '99, some of the Intel long's can't do anything but but talk about Wilamette (understandably so given how bad a shape Intel is with PIII). And as long as we are talking vapor, it is fair to compare to vapor . <I would be really surprised if sledgehammer does come out in Q1 2001 though.> I would be too. I would be very comfortable with a Q3 intro. <If it does I might hang on to my and a lot longer than I'm currently planning.> This, probably, reflects the sentiment of many on this thread.
