From a reader:
Through a friend of mine at Intel:
Merced's progress is in bit of a spot. The senior lead
for the project has been turned over for the 7th
time, and HP has cut back their development effort
since Intel is insistent on adding x86 microcode.
Speculation is that with the new licensing for Alpha
from Digital that Merced will be more Alpha or
Strong-ARM based rather than the innovative new chip
promised.
