Re: "You are the one that made the comparison in the first place."

No, he didn't. I think it's pretty clear from his statement that he was comparing IF_Merced to the Alpha that will exist when IF_Merced finally arrives. If he weren't, then you'd be making a stink about the performance side of his assertion--because surely the IF_Merced that arrives wouldn't be two years behind a .35u Alpha in performance, would it?

"I am very excited about IA64. It should be only about 2 years behind Alpha in performance, and the die sizes will be only about 4X the size of Alpha."

You think you're being clever, but we see right through it, "Bill".
