Albert, "is it worth spending on athlon at this point if hammers would be coming next year?"

I don't know performance of hammers. What I do know is
that usually the core design is separated from platform
design. The most brilliant core may totally suck if
plugged into a lame system. That is what is happening now.
Unfortunately the same people with very narrow thinking are running the platform show, so I suspect
that things will remain unchanged for a while.
I even afraid to predict that there will be
delays in hammers due to same platform problems.

Regards,
