Jim, >Hammer doesn't exist yet. If and when it does we will see what it can do.

Depends on your definition of "exist." Apparently, if it's in the minds of 'droids all over the Internet message boards, it is real and it can do gazillions of MIPS, BIPS, FLOPS, whatever you want. Honest. Really.

I remember one PhD process engineer that said AMD would never get over 300 Mhz on a K6 or 400 Mhz on an Athlon.

If you're referring to Yousef I think you are misquoting him. I believe he was referring to a specific process technology generation and he may have been correct.

Additionally if you think MHz is all that matters "MHz Sells" I must remind you that silicon sells. It doesn't matter what numbers you put up on your website, a la XP2000+, if all you have is a few lab curiosities and no volume production. Intel now has both and that's very very bad news for AMD.
