<font color=orange>Gigabyte Denies AMD760 Problems; Claims Boards are Shipping Earlier today we reported that AMD representative Ward Tisdale disputed a recent article in the British information technology web journal, The Register. The article claimed Gigabyte was delaying shipment of its GA-7DX AMD760 based motherboard because of chipset problems. In short, Mr. Tisdale said that the AMD760 is healthy and that products will be delivered as scheduled with systems available this month. The AMD760 is a crucial product for AMD and many other companies in the computing industry since it is the first mainstream chipset boasting DDR SDRAM support. The Gigabyte GA-7DX is likewise important as it has been expected to be a key product and perhaps the first DDR SDRAM motherboard available for OEMs. Gigabyte’s Marketing Planner, Lillian Chen, fully supported Mr. Tisdale’s assertion. In fact, Miss Chen told Tom’s Hardware Guide that these motherboards are already shipping to system integrators with products for the retail channel coming later. She was uncertain of the source of The Register article, but wanted to clarify any confusion that may have come from it. 17:53 EST [Van] AMD to Replace Mustang with Hammer? The popular enthusiast site, AMDZone, has just reported that the Austin based chip company, AMD (nyse: AMD), has changed its plans to deliver its server/workstation oriented Athlon chip codenamed "Mustang." Instead, the booming CPU maker will allegedly be accelerating the launch of its 64-bit line of CPUs known as "Hammer." If this turns out to be true, then it may account for rumors that appeared months ago, claiming that a 64-bit Hammer processor would appear in servers early next year. The Hammer line of processors has two publicly disclosed members: The Clawhammer which is a single core solution that AMD plans to eventual sell for applications from servers down to portable devices, and the dual core Sledgehammer, which promises “SMP on a chip.” The Sledgehammer is designed for servers and is considered to be AMD’s answer to Intel’s (nasdaq: INTC) much delayed Itanium. The desktop version of the Mustang, dubbed “Palomino,” is set to bridge any time lag for the Hammer, the site continued. www6.tomshardware.com Guess you had it wrong again. Milo
