If Eugene guesses the P4 is faster for 64 bits than the hammer is
in october 2002, then i blindfolded believe him, because
i haven't heart a thing yet about an AMD compiler (which to a layman
like me looks quite needed to make for a processor like this, though
i do not know of course whether m$ works on this).

I gotta see that hammer on my desk first, be able to feel it and touch
it and then run it and see it is faster, before i believe they have
made a 64 bits processor kicking the other 64 bits processors like McKinley
or a cheap K7 0.13

Presenting a fast CPU is not so difficult. I could do a presentation on
my old P133 and convince everyone it is a fast new processor :)
