AMD still appears on track to be shipping high volume Hammer in Q1 of next year.

High volume hammer will be a 64-bit, runs all your favorite software at super high speed, processor.

Right now, Intel is priced at a market cap of about $220 billion. AMD is priced at a market cap of less than $5 billion. With Hammer continuing to look "good to go" on its current schedule, AMD stands a reasonable chance of taking market leadership from Intel.

No wonder why Intel's stock price has been falling while AMD's has been rising. Intel, given the way things are going, is probably worth 10 times what AMD is worth, maybe 20.

But 44?

Paul - Re:"He just validated Intel's IA64 approach !!"

Absolutely correct. McGrath also said, that in addition to flat registers, he would use a fixed instruction length -- another feature of IA-64.

Paul, Re: "He just validated Intel's IA64 approach !!"

Good observation. It seems even the Hammer designers are aware that Intel chose the most elegant path for their design. With a maturing architecture and a maturing compiler, IA-64 will probably surprise quite a few.
