Maui,

AMD's .13u is still 2 to 3 quarters before production status at the time Hammer tapes out.

BTW, Tualatin is on .13 and comes out at the same time as Sledgehammer.

AMD will use the .13u process on a proven and debugged Mustang core for the first production. Tualatin can at best hope to compete with that. It will not be in the same class as the Hammer family. I think it's kind of like this:

Coppermine < Thunderbird < Tualatin < Mustang <= P4 <= Hammer.

Unfortunatelly, as far as Piii family, the most optimistic scenario is that .13u Tualatin will at best keep up with .18u Mustang core. When Mustang goes to .13u, Tualatin will strictly become a Celeron.

Tualatin better be a lot earlier than Sister Sledge.
