Re: "I'm not sure that it is a very realistic to compare a 0.35u Alpha with a 0.18 or 0.13 IF_Merced." Why? You are the one that made the comparison in the first place. Now you want to tap dance around your statements? ------- Haven't looked at the start of the thread.. but no it isn't fair to compare Merced to .35 21264 (vanilla EV6). Even from a marketing sense it is hard to compare your latest and greatest CPU against a CPU that has been shipping for 2 years when 2 revs of the same CPU came out. Meaning: By the time Merced volume ships (assuming it ever does) .35 21264 won't even be shipping. The comparison should be against the EV68 (most likely volume shipping for 6 months prior to Merced volume). EV68 is the part to watch. Yes, let me repeat.. EV68 is the Merced killer. Not only is it on par performance wise but Compaq points out it will be 1/5 the cost.
