MONACO - <other companies will be making chip sets to support the Merced, ONLY Intel will be making the Merced chip itself, correct?> Intel will be the sole manufacturer of Merced. Intel and other companies will manufacture the support chips. Question not too silly. At one point, HP intended to manufacture Merced as well, but they abandoned this strategy a few years ago. PB

<all these other companies will be making chip sets to support the Merced, ONLY Intel will be making the Merced chip itself, correct?> Neat strategy, huh? The more chipsets out there, the better, especially if those third-party chipsets support up to 32 Merced chips running in parallel! And if you can imagine that Intel will charge Xeon-like prices for each individual Merced chip (on the order of a few thousand dollars each), you can imagine what sort of money rolls in when you multiply that by 32!
