Hammer?? Is there anything that would keep Intel from doing the same 64-bit extensions as AMD? If not, when would we see a Hammer like processor from Intel? Would they ever do such a thing or would they concentrate on getting the cost out of an IA-64 desktop processor? I think Intel has a lot of options and I am sure they are having a tough time figuring out which options to pursue. Anyway just thinking out loud.

<font color=red>AMD Purchases Tiger Test Systems for Next Generation Devices with HyperTransport Technology June 12, 2001 7:19 AM (ET) BOSTON, Jun 12, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Teradyne, Inc. (TER, Trade) announcedthat Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD, Trade) has purchased multiple Tiger TestSystems to test integrated circuits with HyperTransport(TM) technology. TheHyperTransport technology is designed to reduce bottlenecks; speeding data flowinside the computers, servers and network switches that power the Internet.Tiger is the first SOC system offering economical at-speed testing for emerginghigh speed bus standards like AGP 8X, 1 GHz DDR, HyperTransport technology andRapid I/O. "Tiger is a next generation chipset tester," said Calvin Cheung, manager, CoreLogic Product Development Engineering at AMD. "AMD's productive workingrelationship with Teradyne led us to select Tiger as our technology evolved.With HyperTransport technology-based designs and other complex cells on oursilicon roadmap, Tiger's differential, flexible pin architecture and wide analoginstrument range meet with our requirements." "The HyperTransport bus is designed to enable computer chips to communicate witheach other faster," said Chris Neuts, manager of Technology Evangelism at AMD."Our new high-speed, high-performance, point-to-point link technology requiresnew test solutions such as Teradyne's Tiger. AMD and our HyperTransporttechnology licensees need the differential test capability that products likeTiger offer to get these new devices to market quickly." "New technologies create new challenges for IC makers," said Jeff Schneider,Teradyne Marketing Manager. "Products that incorporate technologies likeHyperTransport often combine multiple asynchronous buses and use I/O speeds over500 MHz. With Tiger, Teradyne is creating leading edge test solutions fortomorrow's new technologies, today." Tiger is the first over 1 Gbps SOC test system. Extending the Catalyst family,Tiger shares the same high throughput zero-time DSP architecture, IMAGE(TM)software, and state-of-the-art analog instruments. Powered by breakthroughSilicon Germanium (SiGe) technology, Tiger sets the standard with Real I/O(TM)data rates to 1.6 Gbps. Real I/O gives better fault coverage and shorter testtimes through functional and timing margin checks in a single pattern burst, atany digital data rate. full story... etrade.com

"Fry's has been advertising the Sony Vaio 800 MHz Duron DVD 14" notebook for $1,399 every day for the past week. I guess that's because they're not selling, right" Using that logic.........INTC must be selling a hell of a lot of desktops in the consumer channel. Including ALOT of P4's and Athlon based system ales would be WAY down. Based on advertising frequency of course. CG
