<Merced is not playing catch up, Alpha is not competition.>
Merced is not born yet, and it will be born dead, IMHO.
Alpha does exist NOW, so it is a really foolish statement:
not yet born baby is competing with a mature product. Ha.

<The issue is not raw CPU performance, it is
compatability with the installed base and ongoing
industry-wide support.> I somehow do not recall any
shrink-wrapped Merced application in local shops yet.
If you mean the dual-instruction capabilities, then
do not make me laugh.

The Merced is a coffin for Intel, it is obvious for
any CS. iAPX432 story will repeat itself, bookmark
this post.
