Sledgehammer for AMD is like "other" for Intel. If it works out, great, if not, there's nothing yet there to lose. Sledgehammer is less of a "major component" of AMD's future plans than "other" is critical for Intel's future plans. I don't know about that. If Mustang was a big yawn to the OEMs and Sledge turns out to be the same, how and when does AMD ever get taken seriously as other than a PC, W/S and small server chip vendor, and the last not even to the big OEMs?

Dan, <Sledgehammer for AMD is like "other" for Intel. If it works out, great, if not, there's nothing yet there to lose.> The problem is that AMD isn't making any money in their bread-n-butter business, processors. At least Intel has more than enough profit from processors to make up for the $3B shortfall in "other." Tenchusatsu
