Hammer? When is it coming out?

[PowerYoga]

anyone have any idea on the release dates? or the clock speed? i have a 1.2 T-bird and i was thinking of skipping the XP series and jumping straight to the hammers.

Not until 2H next year
the Athlon has still got a bit of life in it
you could upgrade to a 2400+ Tbred right now or wait for the barton

BEFORE ANYONE RESPONDS TO THIS THREAD READ THIS ONE FIRST
The search function is an amazing thing.
""Prudential Securities Analyst: On Hammmer, it seems that your strategy has changed a little bit in that you're going to address the server market first and foremost. Why is that the case? Is there an issue with the performance of the chip, or is that a more attractive market Are you going to focus first on the Opteron family rather than on the Athlon hammer core?

AMD: The first product we're bringing to market is actually based on what we recently called the Sledgehammer die. We think the biggest opportunity for this product is in the server space, and with the Sledgehammer die, that's really what the market is going to serve first. Also with the . . . putting Barton into our roadmap, which starts to ship in the first quarter, we believe that with the Athlon XP lineup based on that K7 core called Barton that we're going to be able to have a competitive performance product in the desktop space and the mobile space through most of '03 with that product. So the real focus on getting the benefits of hammer is going to be driven largely by the server space and the workstation space to some extent and as we go through the year we'll get into the high-performance desktop space and it doesn't really become a player in the volume desktop space until sometime in the second half of next year.
