Jozef, <That remains to be seen. I am surprised that you don't think that Sledgehapmmer will be able to compete with Foster.>

I'm basing my conclusion on the assumption that Sledgehammer is built off the Athlon core and adding 64-bit addressing and the modified FPU. That won't be enough to take on Foster, nor will simple 64-bit addressing be enough to take on McKinley.

Of course, a lot can change between now and 2H 2001, so I'll try and keep an open mind about these things.
