Re: "Merced dead, says Sun"

You have to realize that Sun is in a dichotomy where Merced is concerned. On one hand Merced's success will eat into their CPU business and on the other hand they have recognized the market's response to Merced and they don't want to be left out so they are going to have software support for it.

If you talk to someone at Sun who works on their CPU side you will hear rhetoric like that of this Harlan McGhan. If you talk to someone who is working on Merced support you'll hear something entirely different.

Also, your source, the Register, is an anti Intel techno evangelical site. I wouldn't get my hopes too high in gaining an objective insight into making an investment decision regarding Intel over there.
