Secondo alcune indescrizioni, il futuro processore Hammer di AMD, arriverà ad avere una cache L2 grande fino a 1MB, nella versione SledgeHammer, che sarà la versione di punta nel mercato server.I processori SledgeHammer potranno essere montati in sistemi multiprocessor, fino ad otto processori in parallelo.

The larger version hammer, the ' Sledgehammer ', to start 2003 will take time and only in three things from the smaller ' Clawhammer ' will differ: Multi-processor platforms to eight PCUs are possible, a 128-Bit MEMORY CONTROLLER ggue. for the 64-Bit CONTROLLER of the ' Clawhammer ' and more Cache. How much Cache the individual versions are finally gotten, whereupon one did not want to commit oneself yet. Safe it is however that for the hammer up to 1 MB Cache are intended and that it will probably give versions with this Cache size.

Inoltre per quanto riguarda le prestazioni del processore Hammer, sembra che saranno fino al 40% più alte dell'AthlonXP.

With 32-Bit-Applikationen the ClawHammer thought for fastidious final users is to be faster about 20 to 25 per cent than the Athlon XP. If 64-Bit-Software (x86-64) is used, the projection/lead would rise around further 15 per cent to 35 to 40 per cent, since then the extended instruction sets can be used fully
