Maui, <So, somebody other than Intel decided/announced that Merced is coming out in 1997 and you chose to believe that.> Which brings up the question: Who originally said that Merced was going to be released in 1997? Tenchusatsu

Merced systems were originally expected in 1997 or 1998; Intel has already publicly announced a six-month delay for Merced, pushing it into mid-2000, and has missed internal targets for packaging issues, support circuitry, architecture and the like, sources said. "No one will acknowledge [the internal delays] because, technically, it's not a slip until you publicly have to restate your schedule," said a source familiar with the development timetable. zdnet.com You can tape that out any way you want. It's just entertainment to me. The idea that the '97 ship date came out of thin air, somehow independent of Intel's continuous FUD and leakage on the matter, is as entertaining as anything else in the whole saga. I imagine Intel's official proclamation of revenue generation from the Itanic next quarter will be similarly entertaining.
