We've gotten a look at that recent AMD roadmap which is apparently now circulating. It basically says the following:

1) We'll definitely see AMD eventually go to DDR2, and use a new socket to do so. Tentative date is sometime early in 2006.....

2) The roadmap says there isn't going to be a 90nm "real" socket 754 Hammer. Only Semprons will have a 90nm incarnation.....

3) The roadmap says that the next major revision of the Hammer product line will include SSE3 across the board..... The roadmap just says that "samples" of CPUs codenamed "San Diego" "Venice" and "Palermo" will be available the first half of 2005. This implies a delay, because the processors were supposed to be out 2Q 2005.....
