Andreas, not necessarily. The oc'ed 2.4+ Ghz Tbred was only matching a 2.8Ghz P4 since the P4 seems to benefit from its better bandwidth at such high Mhz. a 25% ipc imprevement for the 2.4Ghz Hammer will be exactly equal to a 3400 P4 Mhz. Hmmmm.....makes you think. The only cool thing is that with SOI and 2 extra pipelines the Hammer should be able to scale to 3 Ghz @ .13 micron which would make it a 4Ghz P4 at least. So Amd will be able to match .09 micron Prescott in non hyper-threading benchmarks and lag slightly behind in hyper-threading enabled banchmarks. If AMD gets .09 Hammer out by 3Q of 2003, Intel will be hurtin' otherwise this parity will continue into 2004. C

Andreas, The TBred at >2GHz makes Hammer clock speeds less of a concern - other than possible problems with getting SOI up and rolling. WRT first Hammer production in September... this would also be nice but it would be even better if there was some product available for the Christmas market even if limited quantities. From other reports it seems the infrastructure will be available and a limited, premium release would be nice. Has anyone seen reports of any dual processor motherboards other than the AMD prototypes? -PT
