Thanks, my message was another example of the "danger" of posting messages late at night, I should have said "IA64," not "IA32."

And another thing I was thinking about today, the oddly similar underlying VLIW-ness of Itanium, Willy, and the briefly hypeful Transmeta. Each with a much different approach to generating the vliw, though. As a relatively old computer type who vaguely remembers the failed Multiflow and Cydrome startups, I'd note that the Merced approach is truest to the original idea, but maybe the original idea wasn't so good. Of course, the former mysterious Merced is so late and has such a troubled history, it's almost odd that Intel isn't going with the rumors of maybe half a year back, and just skipping the whole thing to go with the next generation McKinley. Instead, it's a major sign of hope in the current Intel landscape, apparently. Cheers, Dan.
