It sounds like Merced is a serious dog on x86 applications Jerry certainly thinks so...you have to wonder, is there an i840/rambust analogy here? -Scot Sanders reckons Intel's move to 64-bit is another example of its willingness to bully customers onto new architectures. "Customers do not want to go to new software and new operating systems because they're using a new chip... Itanium, from what we have seen and heard will run 32-bit software, at best, as an 800MHz solution. It has a large die, it's expensive and it's slow."
