Erci, Itanium is at 18 months and counting, while Willy seems to be headed for a launch 12 months after first silicon. With Merced Itanium, I think the difference is that Intel doesn't want to launch it. There is no OS, the performance is mediocre at best, and as a result, there is no demand for it. McKinley should have some advantage compared to Merced. Joe

Eric, <Assuming Mckinley first silicon arrives at the end of Q3 2001, what would be the minimum time to a launch?> It is generally assumed that McKinley will launch 12 months after first silicon arrives. I don't forsee as many headaches involved with the McKinley launch as there were with the Itanium launch. Tenchusatsu

Assuming Mckinley first silicon arrives at the end of Q3 2001, what would be the minimum time to a launch? McKinley is rumored to tape out in Nov. If true, they will have first silicon some time in Dec. It should take about a year for design and system verification and testing. That would indicate a launch late 2001 which is what Intel has been claiming all along. Sounds reasonable. From experience, I have quite a bit of faith in the H.P. design team. THE WATSONYOUTH
