Ten,

The IA-32 compatability unit was in the upper-left corner and took up a small fraction of the die.

If Intel chucked the IA-64 stuff off the die, they might have a competitive product.

I only read one or two articles on the subject, but I think Merced decodes and translates IA-32 instructions into IA-64 instructions. If this is incorrect, I hope someone can clarify.
