RE: <Mustang's successor is Sledgehammer with a 32/64 bit core running at 2GHz at introduction.> From the article: "AMD's Sledgehammer 64-bit processor is expected to sample early next year and challenge Intel's own 64-bit offering, Itanium. The successor to the AMD Mustang, an unnamed 32-bit core, will begin life at 2-GHz." techweb.com Kapkan4u, I will take your word for it, but I remembered some odd posts from Scumbria a while back and just for curiosity's sake took the time to dig them up... Message 12843025 Message 12872752 Scumbria? were you just joking? Thanks, Epinephrine

Kap - RE: "Hector probably said: Mustang's successor is Sledgehammer with a 32/64 bit core running at 2GHz at introduction." Thanks a bunch for that clarification. The techweb.com article also said this - "To date, AMD has simply said that the Mustang will offer significant power savings, based upon a redesign of the transistors upon which the chip is manufactured." Is this redesign of transistors how Mustang will have a "reduced core size", as AMD puts it? The FAQ on AMD's site says Mustang and Corvette will be made on a .18 process. amd.com I thought they were going to reduce the core size with a process shrink.
