Mr. Ali re: So, instead of making a silicon, they are leaking highly "confidential" chip floorplans? Kind of tactics employed by Starr, is not it? One more evidence of total failure of Merced. That reminds me. AMD has been less than truthful with investors and consumers. Maybe Star should investigate. Who knows what might turn up. BTW: Isn't lack of innovation one of your key criticisms of Intel. Well Intel's IA-64 Merced/EPIC a first of its kind. Right? Read it and Weep! Dale First Of Its Kind Merced, due to ship in 2000, is the first processor to implement Intel's IA-64 architecture and its explicitly parallel instruction computing technology. EPIC has been billed as a new approach that applies some concepts from very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) computing, but is altogether different. Essentially, EPIC is intended to enable Merced to handle a large number of instructions and feed them to multiple, on-chip functional units for execution on every clock cycle.
