Albert, Re: "could it be because hammer is going to operate at much higher frequency than Itanium?" Way to spin an argument, Albert. Somehow you manage to say that Intel is deceiving the public on megahertz, and subtly turning the people away from megahertz, all in the same breath. wanna_bmw

Albert, Intel is being truthfull about the Mhz. AMD failed with the PR crap a few years ago. They will fail again. In fact because AMD is pulling out the fake Mhz ploy this is bad news for the longs. Although a few idiots believe AMD is holding back faster chips in some sort of brilliant tactical move. Now AMD is introducing fake modelhertz - and one can ask why? - the reason is CLEAR - palomino SUCKS on frequency scaling. And for those desperately waiting for Hammer. If hammer was just around the corner at competitive mhz to PIV - do u think AMD would be going the fake modelhertz route? AMD must have seen the writing on the wall and is now planning the modelhertz intro in a last ditch attempt to keep ASP's above $70 for Q4. When u couple the hyperthreading technology - where u have an addition 20-30% potential improvement you have AMD in a desperate situation. AMD is in a world of hertz right now!!! regards, Kash

Albert: could it be because hammer is going to operate at much higher frequency than Itanium? Using MHz to compare speeds is only done in PCs. Workstations and servers are completely beyond that. There are so many different architectures to choose from, most of them sporting multiple CPUs - and none of them delivering equal IPC. Itanium would never need to compete on operating frequency, only actual performance. (unless it happened to debut as a consumer chip soon, which I think is highly improbable). -fyo
