Sanders wrong on Hammer date – AMD theinquirer.net Fellow retires in April By Mike Magee, 25/03/2002 23:49:35 BST CHIP CONTENDER AMD finally confirmed today, after being battered on these pages for ten whole days, that Clawhammer will ship in Q4 of this year – it could be as early as October. The firm said that Jerry Sanders had made a "slip of the tongue" by saying it would be next year (2003) before the product ships. We'll hold AMD to that, then. The confusion arose last week when Mr Sanders said that the Hammer family will arrive in 2003, in an interview with a magazine called Upside. Sanders is expected to relinquish his position as CEO in favour of ex-Motorola man Hector Ruiz next month. An official representative from AMD Europe said that Sanders had made a mistake, and that Clawhammer, a member of its Hammer family, would indeed ship in the fourth quarter of this year. In the old days, an AMD representative that contradicted his lord and master would have been forced to spend an extended period of time being re-indoctrinated either in the south of France, or possibly in Hawaii. He might even have been promoted, in olden times. The times, they are definitely a changing. Hector rules with an iron rod, apparently. And the INQ wishes Jerry a very happy retirement. Doesn't AMD have a PR minder looking after the chap so he doesn't queer the CPU pitch, these days?
