Constantine, that article is filled with so many inconsistencies, it's not even worth going into all of them.

Magee seems to believe that engineers are trying to get McKinley on .13u ("Although INTC representatives insist that the McKinley is being produced on .18 micron processes, we think that the fab folk are experimenting with McKinley on .13 micron.")

But, either the process is doomed to not work on an Itanium processor ("IA-64 is not designed for the "juicy process", we understand. There are leakages and brokages going on that the boys down in Fort Worth don't like a cotton dogging bit.")

Or else Intel has foreseen that Itanium processors won't be stealing process space from mainstream chips ("We also believe that means a big scrap between the IA-32 and IA-64 wings of the company - who have always fought hammer and tongs so to speak anyway. The McKinleyites want .13 micron space but because of the squeeze are lacking silicon to debug.".

At no point is there even mention of Madison, which is supposed to be Intel's McKinley shrink to .13u, and which is still scheduled for a first half 2003 launch, according to several public announcements.

If Magee's sources for Intel dabbling with x86-64 are the same as the ones forecasting Intel's ability to get McKinley on a .13u process, you can forget about fixing any kind of reliability to these rumors.
