Re: "It may be a real bummer when the expensive Merced chip is blown away by a laptop running DOOM or other 3D games using a cheaper Intel chip."

By the time Merced gets here the CPU won't be particularly important for high end 3D applications, and on the verge of becoming unimportant for low end-type games.

Anyone looked at the specs for Playstation 2?

<<Thus the Merced may not directly compete with 32 bit chips in the desktop for some time if ever, but may effectively serve a more specialized high end database server market. 1,000,000 chips a year at $5,000 per chip is $5 Billion dollars of high margin business.>>

I repeat my question. Why didn't the analysts ask Intel about their projections for this new revenue stream that is soon to come online?
