If Itanium (including McKinley, of course) fails to the point of losing the support of HP, IBM, and others, and if AMD pulls of the "stopgap" Hammer (an Athlon with more 64-bit enhancements), then will be very, very bad news for Intel. This will mean the mantle of leadership will have passed to AMD and its partners (Via?), with Intel forced into either licensing Hammer or doing its own "stop gap" product. (Either the Register r the Inquirer or both had something about Intel quietly starting a stop gap project...don't know if this is true.) Doesn't Intel already have a patent cross-licensing agreement with AMD which would allow it to clone the Hammer? According to someone whose expertise I value, who works on the IA-64, "it's just a dog." ...it doesn't look like the VLIW/EPIC ISA is offering a leap forward in performance. Yup. This is what Fred Weber of AMD and other leading computer architects have been saying for years about Intel's "EPIC adventure" to a new instruction set that the world can live without.
