Paul - Re: Merced may be a month later - but IT ISN'T GETTING ANY LATER! [snip] By the way, the original Pentium was about a year late. From its original planned release date, Merced has slipped significantly more than a year. Original specs have it being on a .25mu process, as well. However, as the Pentium example illustrates, it isn't really a question of how late you are with a product - it's how late you are compared to the competition. I take it the 'competition' in the case of Merced is Sun, Alpha, IBM and maybe SGI? How late are they? How good will their products be in a year and a half? Those are the questions. I can't remember the last time I heard of a semiconductor product that was finished early... --fyodor
