If that is so, how exactly is a 2GHz 3400+ A64 supposed to compete with a 3.2GHz P4 (lets not even talk about Prescott yet...) in the desktop market, which is obviously a lot closer to the workstation rather than server side of things as far as programs/applications are concerned. x86-64 might help a bit, but it's not gonna be a huge quantum leap. And besides, desktop x86-64 apps will be rare at launch and stay that way for quite some time... AMD needed a real home-run with the K8... I think world + dog is coming to the realization they haven't managed that...
