it looks like Intel found something else to copy and they are trying
to hide <ggggggg> :

To date, Intel has revealed almost nothing about IA-64
other than to trumpet it as the first "post-RISC"
architecture. Moreover, Intel firmly insists it has not
implemented a very-long-instruction-word (VLIW)
approach--something that's been widely assumed. "It's
going beyond VLIW--it's a new technology," said an
Intel spokeswoman. "There are no VLIW concepts in
IA-64."

Nevertheless, sources familiar with IA-64 report that it
does in fact draw heavily on the tenets of VLIW to take
maximum advantage of instruction-level parallelism and
advanced instruction pre-decoding techniques.
..........
"For marketing reasons and for technical reasons, Intel
doesn't want to be associated with the failed VLIW
implementations of the late '80s," said Linley Gwennap,
editor-in-chief of the Microprocessor Report
newsletter, which is hosting the forum. During that
period, several VLIW efforts--most notably,
now-defunct MultiFlow Computer Inc.--briefly
flourished and then sputtered. Interestingly, Joseph
Fisher, the key architect at MultiFlow, is a member of
the Hewlett-Packard Co. team that has worked jointly
with Intel to develop the 64-bit instruction set.
