<The irony is that the x86 is winning in the workstation/server area. Intel doesn't need Merced to conquer those markets!> Merced will take those markets to new performance levels while still retaining the pricing and the high-volume aspects that Xeon already has. One of the problems of Xeon servers is that even though the price/performance ratio is superior to that of the RISC competition, absolute performance still falls behind. So in other words, while Xeon does well in the price/performance aspect, Merced will go after the pure performance aspect while still retaining the price/performance advantage. Tenchusatsu

<Who or what is Gadi Singer?> Gadi is a senior guy who was brought in from Israel to Santa Clara to fix Merced apparently with a sweetheart package. I was just doing some inside Intel talk to amuse Paul, Tenchusatsu and other people who might know the situation. <I agree that Merced (and IA64 in general) will be a very slow ramp. The irony is that the x86 is winning in the workstation/server area. Intel doesn't need Merced to conquer those markets!> You mean - a day late and a dollar short. I agree.
