Clawhammer 20-25% faster than Athlon
This week, while AMD sets focus on the new Athlons
at the CeBIT Hannover, some sources linked to a German
website, which, apparently, has some more information
on the upcoming Hammers. The report says the Clawhammer
will be 20 to 25 percent faster than the current Athlon
XP at the same clockrate in 32-bit applications.

Also according to the report, power
consumption will give Hammer
an extra point against the Athlon XPs. Not to forget,
the Athlon XPs are still being produced using 0.18-micron
core but will debut soon with the 0.13-micron
Thoroughbred. The Hammer, as previously informed,
will work with a 0.13-micron core. |
In an interview with AMD's Product Manager, website Planet3DNow
also added that the Sledgehammer - follow-up for the Clawhammer
- will come with up to 1 MB of L2 cache and a 128-bit
DDR SDRAM memory interface.
Some time ago, a Czech hardware site had published benchmarks
results showing the performance of the Clawhammer
3400+. These results apparently showed that AMD's upcoming
product should outperform Intel's Pentium 4 3 GHz by 35
percent.
The Clawhammer is AMD's first attempt at an 64-bit processor.
With an entirely new architecture, where the northbridge
and memory-controller come integrated in the processor
itself, the Clawhammer should supports dual- processor
configurations and be able to use up to eight DDR DIMMs
in both PC1600, PC2100 and PC2700 varieties.
Samples
of the processor have already been distributed to
partners. The first Clawhammer release in the desktop
variant is scheduled to the fourth quarter of this year
or beginning of 2003.
