Re: tell us more stories about how Hammer is ahead of schedule, just like SOI and 0.13u 0.13 is not ahead of schedule, it's late. Products and targets change constantly in this business. How late is timna, at this point? What I posted, and what you probably understood, was that running samples of Hammer, especially dual processor Hammer, were not expected to show up when they did. Intel started working on Itanium when, 1994? It was supposed to be their server chip by 1998. Now we're told the Merced chips were just.... what's the term Intel uses to explain shipping useless prototypes instead of viable parts? Technology demonstrations? Development platforms? And the first "real" Itanium is Mckinley? or is Madison now the first "real" Itanium? Nonetheless, if Madison ships late this year, instead of early next year, it would be ahead of schedule, given the current context. Even though it's 4 to 5 years late, if you want to go back to the earliest Intel roadmaps. A year from now, what happens or happened with any of the old 32-bit chips will be irrelevant, ancient history. Which will pretty much still be all that Intel has to offer buyers - irrelevant, outmoded, 32-bit chips.
