<Curry said the Merced will be competitive with the latest PA-RISC, is faster than Sun Microsystems Inc.'s UltraSparc-III, and will outperform the 64-bit Alpha chip marketed by Alpha Processor Inc.>

But Chuck on the AMD thread said that Athlon will be faster than Merced. Does that mean that Athlon will be faster than PA-RISC, UltraSparc, and Alpha? ;-)

Anyway, this is the first time I ever heard an Intel representative compare Merced's potential performance to its competitors. Before, the theme was "world-class performance" without naming any names.

To be sure, talk is cheap, even coming from Intel. At least there's a good chance we'll all find out in mid-2000 (and not late-2000, or mid-2001, or whatever else the press wants to say).
