Intel VP Diane Bryant talks about microarchitecture advancements in the works for the Intel Itanium family of processors for high end servers. Diane spoke with business and technology press at a briefing in San Francisco on June 14.
To be brief, Itanium is just way too much of a 'niche' product to really serve as an 'agile', as this talking head puts it, product in the server environment. And taking into account the new low voltage Xeon QCs consume only 12.5w per core, they look even more attractive, 64-bit environment or not.
Quad-core Tukwilla is now! ;)

Mama, take this badge off of me. I can't use it anymore; it's getting dark, too dark to see. I feel I'm knocking on heaven's door.
