<< AMD already said they will continue to produce Athlons as long as the demand stays up. >>
That's correct. In fact, AMD said that revenues in 2003 would be close to evenly split between the Hammer and Athlon, which I find somewhat confusing, considering that would mean that AMD isn't expecting all that much Hammer volume in 2003. You would think that would mean that Hammer would be delayed, but AMD keeps saying that they will be selling/shipping ClawHammer processors in Q4 of this year so.....
