Rob, <So my guess is that Merced L2 does 4.2 GB/sec>

Nope. Steve "Mr. Merced" Smith said in MPR 10/26/98 that the L2 cache bandwidth will be more than 10 GB/sec.

<Any hope of Intel talking about Merced performance next month at MPR? Will we learn how many transistors?>

I'll be there at Microprocessor Forum. It's not only next month, but also next week. I'm sure we'll know a little more about Merced by then. Maybe not performance, because it still way too early, but I'm sure we'll learn about transistor count, which I already know by the way.

<Look for much higher performing Alpha 21264 workstations at .18 micron and greater than 1 GHz being plentiful in the 3-4 thousand price range.. well before Merced boxes.>

I see more doom-n-gloom news reports concerning Alpha than positive. But hey, I'll find out more come next week.

P.S. - By the way, "Mr. Merced" is the nickname I made up for Steve Smith. After all, "Steve Smith" is such a common name ...
