C, Re: There is x86-64, HT, up to 32-way multiprocessing, on board memory controller ( maybe dual core ), a bunch of partners (motherboard and OS) having the infrastructure ready.

There is a big difference between what's on PowerPoint presentations or in demonstrations, and what can be successfully manufactured and marketed. AMD could probably get a decent Hammer product out and ramped to high volume eventually, but Intel won't be standing still during this time, and the more they stall, the less competitive their product becomes. The performance story is also something up to debate until we can see some real measurements. There's too much hype to sort out the facts from the fiction, and all the while, little snippets of bad news bubble up from various sources on internal problems that AMD is having with manufacturing or design. You also can't assume that these losses hasn't hurt AMD's ability to deliver on either their short term or long term roadmaps.

P.S. Are you "Constantine"?
