RE:"Do you know which markets Intel's competitors are targeting Scumbria?"

Robert,

Intel's competitors always try to provide adequate performance at a lower price.

Do you doubt that Microsoft will suck up every ounce of CPU power Merced has to offer? Microsoft has already announced that voice will be the primary input to Windows in the next decade. High quality speech recognition will tax any CPU to the limit. Throw in 3-D graphics and a JIT compiler and you have need for a very high performance system.

Window's demand for CPU power will explode in the next few years. According to Amdahl's law, MP is the only way to continue up the performance curve.

I assume that Cyrix, AMD and IDT will want to run Windows.
