Re: "Frankly the poor performance of Merced at 90% of current HP technology shocked everybody. And remember this assumes that the chips meet target speeds - something that is not guranteed (just look at cumine flap)."

Kash, I think that there is a great deal of confusion over that statement. It is unclear as to what was meant. Did it mean that Merced running HP binaries @440MHz was 90% of the 440MHz HP machine? Did they mean the Merced binaries on Merced running at 440MHz were 90% of HP binaries on HP hardware or Merced binaries at full frequency?
