Tenchusatsu, RE: Itanium penetration in servers is actually 1%, according to one of the articles. It's slow, but probably no more slower than when Pentium II Xeon was first released and plagued by a couple of nasty errata. This was back in 1998; I remember it well. Xeon then turned into Intel's most profitable line of products.

According to Gartner, computer makers have shipped 1700 Itanium based workstations and 2600 Itanium based servers this year.

While the PII Xeon sales were indeed initially slow, I don't remember them being anywhere close to being THAT slow.

Paralleling Itanium's first year sales to Xeon's first year sales strikes me as a little like paralleling Itanium's sales right now to Hammer's sales. In both cases, you can probably use statistics to support the statement, but in neither case do the statistics reflect what most people see as reality.
