I believe there will be a big enough of a performance gap that even if someone cripples the Hammer it'll still come out on top in various benchmarks. Plus it's a 64bit chip so there is some marketing potential there. I'm sure when Intel makes a 64bit desktop chip they'll spam 64bit EVERYWHERE. Probably try to make people think it increases their internet performance even more.. rofl :)
