Brian, Merced "slippage" My sources tell me first silicon was originally scheduled for the first of June, and now it's late August, so I think there's been some slippage over there," said Linley Gwennap, senior analyst at Cahners Microdesign Resources. I thought Barrett was quoted a month or so ago that first Merced samples would be available in 3Q, or did he say specifically August? Also, tapeout was talked about being complete around end June. Kind of hard to get Gwennap's "first silicon" by the first of June before tapeout completes. Anyway, unless there has been another slip, Gwennap hasn't been keeping up with the reports out of Intel.

Brian - <Curry said that manufacturers aren't accusing Intel of being late. "We expect to have samples within a few months to OEMs. That's within their expectations. None of them are walking around saying it's late. As of today, the product has not slipped the schedule," Curry said.> Again, what is the big whoop about holding the Merced schedule to a matter of days? Good golly Miss Molly, this saga has been going on for years. The amount of time being speculated on here is irrelevant, IMHO. PB
