AMD Delays Hammer
TeJarz writes "C|Net reports that their next processor (Hammer) has been rescheduled from its original Q4 release to Q1 2003. To quote C|Net: 'The delays are occurring to accommodate the release of a new version of Athlon with a 333MHz bus, said Crank. Current Athlons come with a 200MHz bus and 256KB of secondary cache.' Let's hope this doesn't get moved again."

Second argument about the Celeron 550 doing everything I need... yes it does, but I am beginning to want it done faster, especially since applications have finally become taxing enough to require more resources.
SickRick: stop feeding the trolls. It just makes you look like a moron.
Oh, and most of us grew out of the "I know you are, but what am I?" style of insults in sixth grade. If you're going to insult someone, at least do a good job of it. (Look at the trolls above for some pointers.)
How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
Poor compiler optimization is no reason to go around half-cocked

It's not poor compiler optimization. The P4 has a *minute* L1 data cache. It just isn't suitable for complex computations. See this commment and its parent:
