Joey - Re: "Intel Reveals How Merced Will Retain X86 Compatibility" For what the article says, it is quite accurate. The Merced is a new architecture with the old x86 architecture blended in along side the EPIC IA-64. The article mentioned "adders and floating-point units". What it did not mention was that the Merced will have FOUR PARALLEL Floating point PIPELINES - capable of performing 4 FPU operations simultaneously. This capability is targeted toward the Workstation market - and heavy-duty "power users". A lot of horsepower will be available on that chip! Paul
