Merced is expected to be the follow on product for the Pentium Pro chip used widely in high end applications such as scientific workstations address. The initial version of Merced will retain the historic x86 architecture and therefore will remain backward compatible with all of its predecessors. However, the Son of Merced will follow the original Merced and will once and for all divorce from x86 architecture to a new design. This will be a very big and historic step for Intel when it occurs.
