With all this talk over the impact of Merced and that blasted six-month delay (you can tell I'm not happy over the Merced delay), the fact is that Merced is going to such a low volume market compared to Pentium or K6/K7.

Merced was initially expected in late 1997, so it will be almost three years late at introduction.

While the introduction of the P7 (now referred to as Merced) being
co-developed by Inteland Hewlett-Packard Co. is at least a year away,
speculation abounds on just what this new architecture will do.

Merced is expected to be released in late 1997 and volume production probably
will not kick in until 1998. However, industry experts already are furiously
debating the impact Merced could have on competing chip vendors, especially
the RISC camp.

Sources briefed by the Santa Clara, Calif., chip giant said the company plans to
release Klamath-the next-generation Pentium Pro-in the fourth quarter, followed
by Deschutes in the second half of 1997.

The chips are named after rivers in Oregon and California. For example, the
upcoming P7 chip-due out in early 1998-is called Merced. And a top-secret chip
in development is called Tillamook, a river near Intel's sprawling facilities in
Hillsboro, Ore.
