<I guess the Hammer samples running at 800 MHz should have been interpreted as a big warning sign... AMD was probably optimistic to overcome these problems in time but I guess the SOI process must have turned out to be a small nightmare.> The chip has been stable for at least 6 months now and even a rumor or two at that point about memory controller seem to have been minor issues or non issues. Barton SOI was cancelled. No public sightings of Hammer above 800MHz. Yup, the SOI process nightmares were pretty evident.... AMD's execution since Athlon has been pretty pathetic. It is just that many AMD fans (especially the frequent posters on the thread) refuse(d) to see how bad things are(were).
