eventually slip off of AMD's roadmap into oblivion

or it will become a printer cpu, scsi/network card cpu like the three new architectures Intel designed before ia64. They all started with similar fanfares. We'll see how sucessful this new non-x86 ISA from Intel will become.

My guess is that Sledgehammer will eventually slip off of AMD's roadmap into oblivion.

I hope Intel management shares this opinion.

AMD and the 'Droids are vastly underestimating the effort it takes to enter high-end servers.

If you make the ground disappear from under your feet, if you start by having to re-create the world from scratch, it does become a monumental effort.

Well, another hint from Microsoft that isnt going to be the case.. heres a snippet:

MS and Sledgehammer: Whistler SDK reveals all

Further evidence that Microsoft intends to support AMD's Sledgehammer chip comes from the company's own upcoming operating system revision, Whistler, aka Windows XP.
