I see. To show it off means it's a sign of desperation. To not show it off means that it's DOA and still a bunch of foils.

No doubt about it, Merced is very high-profile. Spin it any way you want, but we already see functional silicon with a functional chipset. It's the dawn of a new IA-64 architecture, so obviously Intel is going to tell the whole world about its progress. (It's no wonder why Merced's timetable continues to receive so much attention.)

The Merced hype machine is going into overdrive. This could be a pathetic K7 response from Intel. I have a feeling that they are bracing themselves for the worst case scenario: the REDx86 campaign.
