>I envision Hammer being the standard 32-bit desktop CPU that, by the way, is also a 64-bit processor. I think even Intel's marketing machine will have a hard time competing with this if all they have is a 32-bit desktop processor. Even though nobody will really need a 64-bit desktop for sometime to come.<

My gut feeling is that Itanium will be to the industry what 68020 was back in the mid-80s, with Hammer becoming the 386 analog.

Perhasps the ITanium will be the standard 64 bit desktop CPU that is also a 32 bit processor.

re: "So yes IA-64 has a head start, but you have to admit that Intel can not bury their heads in the sand over the threat of Hammer"

And just WHY is the Hamster a threat ?
