Quote:AT LONG LAST, AMD is ready to introduce its Athlon 64 processor to the world. This chip is the successor to the formidable K7 core, known to most as the AMD Athlon processor. The Athlon cemented AMD's place as a respectable second source for x86 processors, a position shakily established by the K6 before it. This time around, AMD has chosen to bolster the K7 core with a number of key internal enhancements and a radical reworking of the PC's internal plumbing. This new processor core, code-named Hammer, is intended to solidify AMD as a leader not just in desktops, but in servers and workstation, as well. AMD has even amended the x86 instruction set for the future with 64-bit extensions.
