Elmer, it will be just ~2 weeks from first silicon to a public demonstration on a completely new architecture, new chipset, new motherboard, new operating system and new apps. And to think that they started all of this within the past decade. It is simply amazing. Scumbria

Elmer - RE: "If this really happens it will be just ~2 weeks from first silicon to a public demonstration on a completely new architecture, new chipset, new motherboard, new operating system and new apps. It took AMD nearly 1 year to demo their K7 on existing operating systems, existing apps and new chipset(?). This will truely be unbelieveable if it really happens." If this is such an "unbelieveable" feat, why did they have so many f*k ups in the past? Isn't there a possibilty MerDUD's design was tested on newer, more advanced devices compared to the K7? Remember, MerDUD is still* a foil, per your defination.

Elmer, What is truly unbelievable is that you believe that this this the first Merced silicon that Intel has seen!!! Pravin.
