If Itanium performance is leading edge in server apps, Intel can charge whatever they want for them (but the apps must be there). Pravin, do you think Titanium's apps will beat out SUNW's significantly? ted

Pravin <As mentioned, speed and cache variations. Look at the old Xeons: Roughly $1000 for one with 512 KB, $2000 for 1 MB, and $3000 for 2 MB of L2 cache. If Itanium performance is leading edge in server apps, Intel can charge whatever they want for them (but the apps must be there).> In order to encourage quick development of apps a lower price would speed adoption of the new platform. A cart and horse problem such as faced by Apple. However, for the more specialized market of servers where high performance is essential the price sensitivity is likely a lot lower. PT
