Itanium II performance on par with SUN Sparc ...The comparison is between an Itanic running at 1GHz and a Sun USIII running at 750 MHz... .... the Itanic is apparently only 1.3 times faster when running a SPECint2000 benchmark. The claims are surrounded by disclaimers such as ' processor numbers are forecasted target [sic] on production systems based on Intel estimates' Since Sparc is already shipping at 1GHZ (in limited quantities) it looks like Itanic the sequel will enter the market with performance equal to Sparc, 64-bits like sparc, costing a lot more than Sparc, but with almost no software - unlike Sparc. theinquirer.net
