PCVelocity heeft als reactie op de aanhoudende geruchten dat het 'Merced' project van Intel ten doden opgeschreven zou zijn, er een stukje aan gewijd.
Well, now Joe Blow can just go get another CPU and plop it in his machine for more horsepower. This completely goes against the current Intel sales model of getting you into another machine every 18 months. What do the OEM's like Dell and Compaq do? I am sure they don't want to be VAR's for selling extra Merced's as systems upgrades. Intel might like the scenario of selling multiple CPU's to every user, but that's sure going to piss off Dell and Compaq when they would rather sell a whole new system.
