Kap: Hans went of the deep end with this article. Looking at patents is not a good way to predict a computer architecture. Patents don't say which core generation they are used for, or if they are used at all for that matter.

That's certainly correct [patents not being a very good way of predicting a computer architecture], however I suspect that Hans has other... resources at his disposal. As Andreas suggested, perhaps he has had a sneak peak at this(?) month's µP Forum slides, where AMD is scheduled to talk about the Hammer architecture.

Kap, Re: Hans went of the deep end with this article.

So do you think that Hammer will be entirely different than Hans predicts? His article seemed much too detailed to me for him to make everything up based on some patens. Also: Why would he publish an article like this if in two weeks we'll know "everything" about Hammer's architecture anyway?
