[GRLUG] AMD rumors

[Cprossu]

This all seems very odd to me.. I almost bet money that Jim Keller has
something to do with it (Recently being brought back to AMD to sort things
out), and I really look forward to AMD's further offerings as a result. I
do not see them leaving x86_64 anytime soon though, but I do at least
expect some really efficient and powerful cpu's as opposed to the longer
pipeline designs they've been offering as of late. An architecture change
could happen though, and I'd expect it to be nothing short of
revolutionary, I mean this is the great Jim Keller who brought us the DEC
Alpha, the AMD Athlon, and the AMD Hammer series!
