Greg, AMD is finished if Hammer is relegated to the desktop space. They need servers and workstations, period. Tenchusatsu

RE:"The real wild card (and one I'm still trying to get my arms around) is how Hammer will play in the workstation, small form factor server, and high end server market. AMD hasn't been very clear on how they position the Hammer in these markets. If Hammer is relegated to the desktop, I see that as "more of the same 'ole same 'ole"." True and AMD has always had trouble breaking into the upper end stuff. OTOH, hammer should be a good mobile chip but AMD already has a presence there. So they need more upper end. Jim
