<I hear that the business community is thrilled about the flawless execution and delivery of Merced, Camino, 8-way Xeons, Pentium FPU, DRDRAM systems,> And the net effect on Intel's bottom line? Zero. (Except for that FDIV thing which only created a one-quarter dip.) Intel doesn't put all of its eggs into one basket, you know, unlike AMD who merrily plops egg after egg into one basket labeled "K7". Tenchusatsu

SCUMbria - Re: "I hear that the business community is thrilled about the flawless execution and delivery of Merced, Camino, 8-way Xeons, Pentium FPU, DRDRAM systems, ....." Merced - HP and Compaq and many others just ponied up $250 MILLION - along with Intel - to promote IA64 applications. They are THRILLED with the progress. Camino - yep - it slipped one quarter - look for a full blown roll out with DRDRAM in September. 8-way XEONS - they are coming. And maybe you could tell us how thrilled AMD customers are with the nearly invisible Kmart 63's that were supposed to be out in late 1998. They are 6 MONTHS BEHIND - and that was a simple cache added to an existing CPU ! Paul
