<Speaking of Merced, everybody made a real hullabaloo when Intel announced a 6 month slip of Merced.> There's a real difference, though. The AMD K6-3 is a pretty ho-hum CPU when compared to the new IA-64 architecture of the Merced. Intel has been betting half the farm on Merced, and that blasted six month delay splattered a lot of egg on Intel's face. On the other hand, AMD is used to having egg in its face (DOA K5, K6 manufacturing problems), so the K6-3 slipping yet another quarter is merely par for the course. I think that maybe AMD is betting their entire future on K7, which might mean that some resources from the K6-3 team were pulled. Of course, this is assuming that the K6-3 really is delayed another quarter. Personally, even I have a hard time believing that AMD let its K6-3 slip another quarter. Tenchusatsu
