CJ, >"Are the new announcement chipsets for desktop or MP/workstation, etc.? " >>Good question. Probably the workstation market, at least for the PCI/X chip. So, for Clawhammer desktop first release chipset support, AMD is relying on people like Via, and not on this newly announced chipset? Just trying to see if the new chipset by AMD is in the critical path to first Clawhammer desktop shipments. Tony edit, from the press release, this may answer the question: These chipsets for the ``Hammer'' processors are planned to be available in the fourth quarter of 2002, and are designed to provide the basis for AMD processor-based systems to serve the PC, workstation, and server markets. biz.yahoo.com Still, I don't know about the Vias of the world. Seems they had chipsets planned for next quarter or something? The AMD-8000 series of chipsets is another example of AMD driving beneficial new technologies into the market. Chipset vendors Ali, SiS, NVIDIA, and VIA are also working closely with AMD, and are expected to design and produce chipsets for AMD's ``Hammer'' processor. This announcement by AMD throws a Bert Blyleven curveball at the whole Hammer milestone thing. AMD needs to clear it up. Staunch AMD backers like Constantine are even talking shorting the stock. Tony
