I'm going to get a new CPU soon. Should I wait until the Hammer comes out or go for a Thoroughbred B core??

do you have money or not ? 
. Simple question, asked just because the new Hammer is gonna be more expensive than TBred or Barton. My advice is to wait for Hammer, but again it's just me.

i dunno, hammer probably wont be around in any quantity until into 2003. thats a long time. plus... the revb tbreds are a great improvement, i think we are gonna see the k7 architecture scale higher than we ever thought. personally i think its gonna be a great time to buy once kt400 nforce2 and everything get on the market.

The ClawHammer/Athlon will run a 32-bit OS but it will take it in two chunks. It has been benched to a 1.6 P4 ( in the 800mhz test verson ) and Kicked the crap out of it The Claw will come out in early 2003 and it un-overclocked will pull a k7 from a k6-2 .
The T-bread B in the 2600+ verson got to 2.66 on water and 2.5 on air Remember that the P4 is @ 2.8 now so AMD still got far to go before we start to celebrate. The Barton is a t-bread with More cache and a Bigger Di Size which means much better cooling. Think of it as a T-Bird VS. The Pally on the Xp chips to the T-bread VS the Barton on to come chips. Sends shivers down your spine to think about how much fun the future will have for us .
BTW: I say Kick the crap out of it because it Beat the P4 at its own game. Ie. Quake III was optimized for the P4 and it was beat by an AMD chip of a less speed.
