Quad Sledgehammers out by June 2003 - AMD

Nailing down a release date for Hammer, AMD's upcoming x.86-compatible CPU, is harder than wrestling with jelly.

In this week's Upside.com interview with Jerry Sanders (linked ad nauseum elsewhere), the AMD chairman refers to a 2003 launch for Hammer. This would represent a little bit more slippage.

However, the company has been a little bit more specific elsewhere. Speaking at CeBIT, an AMD exec called Mark de Frere told Ace's Hardware Johan De Gelas:

"It is very, very likely that we'll launch the Clawhammer in Q4 of 2002." Mark de Frere put up an even bigger grin when I asked about the SledgeHammer's timeline and commented:

"It is going to blown you away." Well, Mark told us that we will see quad-processor SledgeHammer server motherboards in H1 2003, or most likely June 2003!"
