albert, Re: "Mobile Athlons are to be replaced by mobile hammers in 1 year as per the following roadmap" I'll probably get flamed for this, but I predict that mobile Hammer will be pushed out in favor of waiting for it to reach the 90nm node. Hammer is probably going to be more of a power hog than even the Athlon, due to the integrated memory controller and faster clock frequencies, so it's questionable whether it could manage as a mobile chip at 130nm. Besides - I think that AMD is more concerned with getting Hammer into the workstation and server markets, where the micro-architectural enhancements will end up having a more pronounced effect. wbmw

Albert, it is unlikely that Hammer could possibly compete against Banias in the mobile market. I don't think AMD ought to try, unless they want to take their focus away from the high-end, where they'll have a better chance. Tenchusatsu
