Andy, RE: "I thought Paul Fiondella's post was very useful. I've just been lurking about over the last 2 years
and find most posts merely chatty, plus the usual cheerleading and doom forecasts. Can we try some of Paul's suggestions?

A question about Merced and its hoped-for speed and power. If Merced is successful in meeting its technical goals, does anyone have any idea what the effects on computing would be? The jump in power to 10,000 megahertz and 1 billion transistors (assuming this can be reached) is so large I really can't imagine its consequences. Does anyone have a clear picture of what this might mean?

Your request for a far reaching vision of what computing could be like with Merced is exactly what Paul F and VK have been complaining about re this thread...i.e. they think that there is too much technical stuff. BTW I posted some rough cuts on what improvement could be achieved re computing power through Merced, I think, last week. Did you happen to catch it?

Also, did you happen to catch the article Paul Engel wrote for SI, kind of like the history of the microprocessor. Must reading.

Anyone who doesn't like Paul E's postings ought to stick to General Mills stock.

There is a thread, (still archived?) called Intel for technicians that would have been perfect for the VKs of the world. This one could be left for information both business and technical.
