Maui, Re: "[Mckinley] 50% faster and almost 1-1.5 years later than Merced would be a step back (per Moores law)." Moore's Law actually predicts the number of transistors in an integrated circuit, but the variation of Moore's Law that you're talking about (that relates to doubling performance) takes place every 18-24 months. If McKinley comes 12 months after Itanium, and given a quadratic curve, 50% more performance would be acceptable. Still, I would obviously prefer it if the 2x numbers are true. wanna_bmw
