That's not vapor. That's hardware although not quite ready for primetime There is long and difficult way from initial prototypes to a product. Sometimes a large and powerful company (not unlike Intel) can sell its first (not quite there) version (not unlike P4; wait till it's .13u) as a product. The fact that even Intel couldn't do that with Itanium tells me that probably there won't be a real product till the next version of ia64. Intel's past has its share of cancelled "new" ISAs. Let's hope for the sake of Intel shareholders that ia64 is not one of them. It takes longer to validate a new processor than originally planned. I think you are missing the fact that itanium is not only a new processor but also the first implementation of a new ISA. It is to be seen whether it is going to be successful or whether it will be cancelled like many similar attempts at Intel or whether it will be a niche product which will be used in RAID controllers etc. To repeat a point, so far very few (any?) Intel new ISA designs have had any commercial success. Muzo
