<<HP's decision, announced at a conference here, is the first time that an insider and main proponent of the chip has recommending skipping it.>> Very significant, positive development for AMD: With fewer customers adopting Mercede, Intel has to rely on the existing IA-32 chips to make its financial numbers work until its 7th generation chip and new version of IA-64 coming along. Intel may be forced to be less agressive on the pricing front in its battle with AMD as a result of this HP Mercede abandonment.
