AMD plans new assault on Intel

Code-named Hammer, new 64-bit chip to target both PCs and servers

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) ? For much of its 33-year history, Advanced 
Micro Devices Inc. prospered by making cheaper, sometimes faster 
versions of microprocessors pioneered by Intel Corp. Now AMD is 
planning its biggest launch ever ? and it's no Intel knockoff. The 
new processors share some of the same elements found in powerful 
servers but will also target personal computers. It's a big financial 
and technological gamble for the world's No.2 microprocessor maker. .
