Bill, Re: "evolotionary products based on the P4 may be faster, but diminishing in capability wrt hammer derivatives."

I don't know about that, Bill. AMD showed their Hammer slides at MPF, and as far as I could tell, there is little difference micro-architecturally from the K7. I don't believe that Hammer will have anything but incremental benefits over K7. Pentium 4 still has a lot of room left for improvement.

Bill, Re: "Intel is also taking abig risk, look at IBM and the microchannel! Remember all the companies who jumped on that band wagon and died with it."

AMD is taking just as big of a risk with x86-64. Without support from that, Hammer is just a glorified 32-bit desktop chip. One might also remember AMD's history of other instruction sets, and how successful they were in implementing those. 3DNow, anyone?
