I think Crafty >on Hammer in native 64-bit mode will be quite fast. 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 :)
