That's fine advice. Let's consider other treatments. A summary by Intel specialist Linley Gwennap: chipanalyst.com@11424642qwvnsm/tech_lib/IA64/summary.html "We expect [IA-64] to become the dominant instruction set in the workstation and server markets by 2002" Same author: mdronline.com@7278232tcwkll/mpr/editorials/edit12_10.html "[Intel] and its partners are now downplaying Merced's performance. In fact, some IA-64 system makers are quietly saying 'Wait until McKinley,'.." Broader, evenhanded and rational: www2.ssd.sscc.ru "POWER3 already is in production, Alpha 21264 is sampling, sample production of UltraSPARC-III is expected to begin by the summer of 1998 while the first Merced is scheduled for production in 2000." "EPIC implies explicit parallelism...CISC implies implicit...concepts are to be combined in the Merced design. That's strange." mb
