ABMW, from DeMone's article (thanks for posting that):

Although AMD will also migrate its K7 core to 0.13 um later in 2002 with both bulk and SOI versions, it is unlikely to be in the position to regain the performance advantage over Intel it previously achieved with the T-bird and XPU Athlon until its new 64-bit Hammer core ships.

I wonder how late in 2002 he expects 0.13 Athlons. The way he words it, later in 2002, would make me nervous if I was an AMD holder. The timeframe for Hammer's release, with all its high degree of difficulty dependencies, renders a fear factor for Intel pretty far out into the future in CPU chip time. Kind of like dog years, one year feels like about seven. Another New Year and no Hammer tapeout yet, unless Jerry's keeping it a secret.
