* AMD can't make fast 90nm Hammers now.
* AMD thinks it can make fast 90nm Hammers around six months from now. Then they'll get loud about it.
* IBM's plans are the first semi-solid indication that these plans aren't based on a hope and a prayer.
* There ought to be a sizable jump in maximum performance from AMD chips when this next generation gets introduced.
* If all goes well, it ought to be enough to get the Hammer bandwagon rolling.
* No guarantees, but if you haven't bought a Hammer because of lack of extra bang for your buck, this ought to change your mind.
* For you cheapskates out there, if all goes well, even Semprons ought to be relative powerhouses compared to almost out there today.
* At that point, the big shift starts and the bandwagon begins.
