some highlights

"The company has already sent tens of PCs fitted with the upcoming chip to game
developers and multimedia software creators, said John Crank, a senior branding
associate for the Athlon".

"The 64-bit Athlon processor is expected to come out early next year, giving
desktop PCs a performance similar to that of workstations used in research labs
at DaimlerChrysler or NASA".


"Because of ClawHammer's 64-bit architecture--which gives the processor the
ability to process twice as much data per clock cycle as current Athlon chips
and allows consumer desktops to offer significantly larger amounts of memory
than they do now--AMD asserts that the chip will usher in a new class of
high-performance games and other complex applications such as video editing and
voice recognition".
