Re: I don't think that Hammer at launch will have the performance to justify a M3400+ So far, all model number ratings on Athlons have been quite conservative. You might want to keep in mind, that AMD went from a 500mhz capability on .18 Aluminum (K6+) to 1.2GHZ (Athlon/Duron) when they lengthened the pipeline. Motorola went from 400mhz to 800mhz from one month to the next when they lengthened their pipeline by 2 stages and added SOI (which is what AMD is doing as it goes from Athlon to Hammer). Hammer could come out at quite a bit higher a mhz level than you are expecting.

wbmw, I think milo is right. SSE2 alone will improve their benchmark scores by 10-15%. C
