SEMICONDUCTORS Merced Chip Nears Release, But Intel's Looking Beyond It.(A)
By James DeTar
Investor's Business Daily
By midyear, Intel Corp. will finally ship Merced, the first in a long-awaited line of microprocessors called Itanium. The event may prove confusing for some Intel customers.
Merced won't be as fast as the company's flagship Pentium 4 processor, used in personal computers. But Merced will in some ways be Intel's most powerful microprocessor.
Itanium chips can be clustered. That means computer makers can group up to 512 Merced processors together to act as a single computer. Pentium chips can'tdo that.
That should open up new markets for Intel, as Itanium machines take on the most powerful computers.
"Itanium in clusters is becoming competitive with traditional supercomputers," said Rob Pennington, head of computing and communications at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Champaign, Ill. NCSA gotearly access to Merced and plans to build an Itanium cluster that can perform 1 trillion math operations at the same time.
