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 :)
