No Yammer from Intel on Hammer whammer

US journalists who attended briefings at the Solid State conference earlier in the week, remained ashen-faced and tight lipped, as UK satirical magazine Private Eye might put it.

According to Semiconductor Business News, Kicking Pat Gelsinger, Intel's chief technology officer, told the magazine he couldn't deny or confirm codenames.

But the same paper quotes senior semiconductor analyst Nathan Brookwood, at Insight64, as suggesting that Yammer will be built on 32 bit architecture with 64-bit extensions.

We love this not confirming or denying code names stuff Pat.

Here's the beef. µ
