AMD's Hammer chip, which will be out by the end of the year, is a proprietary design, so software companies will have to decide to create separate versions of their products and Intel's future Itanium processor.
AMD is working closely with Linux developers to rally support for its chip. The company has posted software that simulates how the new chip works on the x86-64.org website, where open-source programmers can contribute to the Linux effort.
