Elmer, Re: Itanium doing x86 in hardware

I suggested this six months ago and some reputable Intellabee posters (can't remember who) convinced me it was not the case and that Itanium took a hardware-assisted emulation approach.

The only presentation on Merced that I attended was a few years ago now and I assumed the design must have changed since then. As I recall, the plan was that a 32 bit x86 core would be included in one corner of the die. Is this still the case?
