Now, if McKinley were simply a drop-in replacement for Itanium, it would be a different story. But McKinley will be paired up with a brand new chipset and featured on brand new server platforms. There are going to be some migration issues involved, so for a while, at least, both Itanium and McKinley-based servers will be available on the market. My guess will be that Intel will drop the price of Itanium just before this overlap occurs.



Don't forget that all the software will have to be recompiled for McKinley with new "smart" compilers, now that the microarchecture has changed.
