Cirruslvr, <Would that require new compilers and/or whatever else MerDUD needs new?> Yes, but it runs all Windows apps in native mode and would be significantly easier to support for s/w community. The big difference vis-a-vis IA-64 is that one doesn't need to recreate the whole software base - i.e., it can take off like a rocket! This is a huge roadmap thing - doesn't have much to do with near term dollars for AMD but has everything to do with where it is headed as a company. Something with the potential to move AMD from a trading stock to a long-term investment-grade stock. Chuck P.S.: Thread, I would be looking forward to ANY info on this topic with wide open eyes. If someone knows something and doesn't want to put it on the thread, please feel free to send a private message.
