Scumbria,

Assuming Merced actually happens, it will not be a generally viable solution for
servers. The cost and power consumption will be too great.


I remember talk like that about the Pentium 60 MHz through Pentium 90 MHz. Seems they weren't too shabby in launching the whole Pentium enterprise.

Gee, weren't you the one who were accusing Intel-a-bees of FUD so close to the K7 release?

Merced's a year away, and already you're turning up the FUD a notch.

SCUMbria - Re: "Assuming Merced actually happens, it will not be a generally viable solution for servers. The cost and power consumption will be too great"

Cost ?

Is Merced going to cost more than Alpha chips?

Power consumption?

I didn't know that SERVERS had limits on power consumption.

What are these power limits?

I suppose 109 Watts/CPU is acceptable - wouldn't you?

Since the 21264 dissipates 109 watts.

What do you really think?
