<May I ask how you know this to be true?>

There was a photo of a Merced die plot in the October 26, 1998 issue of Microprocessor Report. On the die plot was an overlay from Intel showing the units of Merced. The IA-32 compatability unit was in the upper-left corner and took up a small fraction of the die.

Oh, and by the way, there's no reason to believe that McKinley won't have IA-32 compatibility in the hardware.
