<DEC guys were doing the compiler work for free for AMD (at least as far as I can tell). Now AMD has to find someone else to do that or spend the dollars and lose the time in developing something equivalent.>

This is only true for 64-bit FORTRAN, which is a very small segment. The 32-bit FORTRAN will run better on Hammer after the CVF team adds P4 optimizations. Remember that Hammer supports _all_ P4 instructions.
