wbmw, Re: ""Hammer" is expected to compete against Intel Corp.'s 64-bit processor line, most notably McKinley. This chip is the follow-on product to Intel's existing 64-bit processor, dubbed Itanium. Lines like this still crack me up...." You are certainly correct about that. I do not expect Hammer and McKinley to compete. A more realistic description, IMO, would be ""Hammer" is expected to blow Intel's P4 line completely out of the water". ;) tgptndr

Re: [From the article]"Hammer" is expected to compete against Intel Corp.'s 64-bit processor line, most notably McKinley...dubbed Itanium. Lines like this still crack me up. I can't wait to see VIA and SiS and nVidia come up with 4- and 8-way Hammer chipsets, or for IBM and Compaq and Dell to use them. If you're laughing, you just don't comprehend the threat. Take a look at slide 25 here, "CPU with Integrated Northbridge", and ask yourself where n-way chipsets fit in: amd.com Then if you still don't get it, study the diagrams on slides 41-43, which spell out "Glueless Multiprocessing: 2-way/4-way/8-way". And try not to cry in your beer.
