No, I didn't think so. If you've read up on it, you might guess that it probably will not be very good for things like chess programs - its strength is in Floating-Point. As far as Hammer beating a 'cheap K7 0.13', what would possibly make you think it wouldn't? For running the same 32-bit applications, the Hammer is very similar to the current Athlons, except it will have much better memory speed, since it has the memory-controller on die. It also should have more cache than the current Athlons. For 64-bit applications, it should be even faster, of course.
