Re: "It is quite remarkable how Intel boots processors which haven't taped out yet." Well if you remember that K6 bug, for a while there AMD was selling processors that wouldn't boot. EP

Scumbria, It is quite remarkable how Intel boots processors which haven't taped out yet. I left out the booted on the simulator part. Got me. Does AMD simulate their processors? I don't remember seeing any milestones released to that effect. Quote at the lunch the other day 'National's R&D roadmap is Intel's product catalog.' What about AMD? How do you know Merced hasn't taped out yet? Tony
