Re: "Intel on target for Merced -- unofficial

Sources extremely close to Intel's plans at Compaq said that engineers have until May 27th to tape out the piece. "

theregister.co.uk

I especially like this line:

"Intel, he said, has faithfully promised its partner Microsoft it will deliver real Merced boxes before the end of June. First samples will be within two to three weeks after tapeout and that will be followed by power-on a week later and Win64 boot a week after that. "

Samples 2-3 weeks after tapeout and poweron a week after sampling. These guys are brilliant!
