RE:"Maybe Intel even has enough additional billions to blow to make the Itanic boat float"

Intel's press releases on the "success" of iTanium are nothing short of pathetic to us geeks. I'm not sure if analysts are buying it either.

RE:"Intel just dropped IA-64 and went with AMD's 64 bit instruction set"

Best thing for AMD is for Intel to keep their IA-64 hopes alive for a while longer but something tells me that Intel will never adopt AMD64 unless it's named something else and and of course the OS is not called AMD64 Windows but something like "Windows XP with 64 bit extensions". Then Intel will attack the marketing by claiming to have 64 bit extensions in a future chip..or something like that.
That's the only way I see Intel saving face if they decide to go x86-64 and put iTanium on the back burner.
