Jozef, Re: "Isn't this discussion a bit premature?" My only point here is that I am skeptical about Hammer reaching a performance rating that is equivalent or faster than a Pentium 4 Northwood running at 3.4GHz. There are countless possibilities of how AMD could fall short of this number. I came up with a few possibilities, but I am not claiming that any are factual - they are just theories. If Intel continues to scale well with Northwood, and I think they will, then Hammer will have to readjusted before marketing launches it at a M3400+ model number. I'm not saying that Hammer won't be fast, because I am already predicting that it will have some significant advantages. It just won't be as fast as some people are already making it out to be. And I don't think I'm being premature about suggesting that, either. Rather, I think it's premature to assume that Hammer will be the end-all of CPUs, simply because it looks good on a PowerPoint slide. wbmw
