"Instead of a booth or room in the convention center, AMD rented a trailer on the Promised Lot. There were a couple of demo machines running in the trailer – two Hammer systems and an Athlon XP 2200+, based on the upcoming Thoroughbred core. As a quick refresher, the new core is a .13-micron die shrink with no other performance enhancements. Therefore, the 2200+ can be expected to scale in line with the Palomino-based 2100+ before it. Intel has clearly clenched the performance crown, but AMD is banking on the Hammer to compete aggressively against the Pentium 4. One of AMD’s Hammer machines was running a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer (obviously, with a 64-bit version of Windows). The other was running Electronic Arts' Medal of Honor. It was good to see the Hammer running something a little more strenuous than just an OS."
