John,

Intel will have samples of its 64-bit Merced processor
available within three to four months


This is pure speculation. Even if Merced tapes out soon, there are a million things that can go wrong with first silicon which would prevent sampling.

I don't know about the production part of this, but sampling would be difficult, since Merced hasn't taped out yet.
