fyo,

It was a teaser. Jerry hinted at architectural enhancements for Athlon to make it faster. I expect to see several tweaks to Barton -- in addition to the larger L2.

As for lower power with T-bred, as far as I am concerned, that remains to be seen. The 45 amp power supply requirement, and the high Vdd yield high power. Again, I must assume that they are having a severe leakage problem at 0.13u. Much worse than Intel's.

Pravin.

"I wonder if this is just about Hammer (again) or if anything else was revealed."

From the context, it sounds more like information on TBred, not Hammer.

"Is this reference to something more than a die shrink just about lower power consumption?"

Probably power consumption. I guess it's possible they re-worked some stuff that didn't require much in the way of extra transistors, but I have my doubts.
