I agree with Jim in that AMD must market the hell out of Hammer to sell it, and they also need the infrastructure support to make it go. Since it's just too easy to stay with Intel, whose chips will perform great also, I don't see much of a change with Hammer. I've been there with a much better product against a behemoth. You do well for a while, but they all gravitate back. It's just too hard to keep up, in all aspects that count, with a company like Intel.

>MMX was said to be 128-bit, but that didn't sell it any better.<

This is an excellent analogy, but revisionist history. Intel couldn't get rid of the old Pentium without MMX in a fire sale once they introduced the Pentium MMX. Of course MMX was virtually useless, and still is.
