Paul,

Tejek - Re: "And when exactly was work started on this extraordinary chip.....was it In Our Year of the Lord 1898 or 1899? Its been so long its had at least 2 or 3 name changes"

It doesn't matter WHEN you start in this business.


It does when the chip in question was in the design stage during the early years of the Clinton administration....that is, when he was governor of the State of Arkansas.

What matters is WHEN YOU FINISH.

What chip is finished? I didn't think first silicon indicated that a chip was finished. That may explain Intel's vaporware problems.

But I must say I am impressed with your ability to brag on this thread about a chip with as many delays and problems as merced.
