At this point, the main things that appear to be wrong with it are that there's virtually no software for it, very few programmers and designers are familiar with it, and its speed benefits, to the extent they exist at all, aren't enough to justify the radical change in architecture. Other problems may surface as experience with it accumulates. You seem convinced it will blow away the competition, so surely you must know the answers to the following questions: How big a die is it compared to, say, the Hammer or the UltraSparc III? How do the number of pins compare? How about power dissipation? JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)
