Will the new AMD hammer be based on Socket A or a totally new design. Or does anyone even know?
No announcement yet.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think the C'Hammer supports both 32 & 64 Bit OS. That in part explains the increase in pin density.:hammer:

They did it for the K6 family I'm not sure about the K5 though I never had one. Why did they decide to lose the metal plate for the K7 familiy?

well they are going to rape intel processors.......because someone said a few weeks ago that they released hammers to various companies at 800MHz for testing purposes and some benchmarks got released and they were comparing very well up against 1.6-1.8GHz P4's. That doesn't really corrolate to real word benchmarks though, I'm still a beleiver casue lately AMD hasn't done anything in the past few months, and truthfully my opinion is after they terminated the thunderbird line up they only released the xp lineup just so they can have something on the market while hammer is under development.
