I re-iterate...APPLE!Merced is Intel's first chip
that processes 64 bits of data
at a time, rather than 32 bits, which should
greatly boost its power when using specially
designed software. Significantly, the
prototype was shown running an early 64-bit
version of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 2000
operating system, another long-delayed
product expected to be crucial to both
companies' success in high-end computers.
The Merced chip also ran a 64-bit version of
the Linux operating system, the free program
that is growing in popularity.

Intel's slow progress in finishing the
long-delayed Merced has been a source of
frustration in the personal-computer industry.

ROFL, maybe when the middle of next year gets here
APPLE will have the G-5 processor running @ 1Gig
and doing 512bs

The Velocity Engine
The secret of the G4's
revolutionary
performance is its aptly
named Velocity Engine.
It's the heart of a
supercomputer
miniaturized onto a sliver
of silicon. The Velocity
Engine can process data
in 128-bit chunks, instead
of the smaller 32-bit or
64-bit chunks used in
traditional processors (it's
the 128-bit vector
processing technology
used in scientific
supercomputers—except
that we've added 162 new
instructions to speed up
computations).

Think APPLE ...
