Sgolds -
do you still think that Hammer manufacturing is unproven? With this many vendors at Cbit and with so many systems exhibited, I am convinced. Hammer manufacturing is proven - vendors don't show off so much product if they can't get enough to fill the channel.
Manufacturability is unproven by definition as they have not yet demonstrated the ability to produce this device. Why are there no production Hammers, only demo systems, if it is manufacturable? Why has it slipped almost 1.5 years if it is manufacturable? Why was Athlon64 pushed out to September (at least) if it is manufacturable? Another poster here claimed AMD's 1,000 demo systems were fully functional and full speed. If they were manufacturable then why weren't those production systems? It seems obvious to me AMD hasn't as yet produced them because AMD, as yet, can't produce them.
This doesn't mean that Hammer can not be manufacturable tomorrow, but forgive me if I say "show me the production Hammers". So far AMD hasn't.
Note: If anyone is going to quote me on this please don't chop out the operative words and claim that I said something I didn't.
