My understanding is that Clawhammer is a dual core while SledgeHammer is a quad core processor. Maybe he was confused by the SMT support in Clawhammer causing the OS to detect two processors :^)

>Judging from the hit rate he quoted and also the link below, the guy is 100% whet:< He's just trying to pull somebody's leg. Not more than three months ago he claimed that Sledgehammer is single core because AMD has never announced a dual core Hammer. I get the impression that he does have some insider information, but this is strictly in the form of friends who are dumpster divers. This may have been effective back in the days of Nx586 and K5, but is unlikely to lead to any insight into AMD today.
