Going Itanium 2?

· Score: 1
AMD Hammer is marketed towards the desktop market and is based on its current x86 core architecture. Itanium, on the other hand, is a true high-end server or workstaion processor based on a totally new architecture, IA64. DRnetman is comparing apples and oranges. Besides, has AMD announced a release date. In typical fashion, they hype a product long before its release and then put it out with a whimper 'cause the competition has already been there, done that.
