"We feel confident Merced will have comparable price/performance [to RISC chips] at introduction," says Michael Pope, Intel's director of enterprise software programs." Glad to see someone else caught that. You may note what it doesn't say: "will have comparable price/performance to ANY AND ALL RISC chips at introduction" that would have been more appropriate but unfortunately an untrue statement. The statement you see above with some editorial interpretation is meaningless. So what if they have comparable performance to MIPS when it ships! MIPS is dogmeat and SGI knows it. Same with POWERPC. The .18 21264 will be volume shipping late this year, early next year. That is a killer part... never mind .25 21264 it too will smoke Merced and is volume by June. Sit on that quote. It will be laughable by year-end. Rob
