Barry- Re:"Grove - IA-64 systems to become the power behind the Internet universe." " When Itanium systems do start shipping, Singer said it is unlikely we'll see any single-processor models. OEMs have readied two-, four-, eight- and 16-way multiprocessing systems. One OEM is currently debugging a 64-way Itanium model, he said. (Presumably, that machine uses the OEM's own core logic, since Intel itself is not currently supporting 64-way IA-64 operation.) And Singer said that one customer is on the verge of getting involved in a 512-way Itanium design." I got goosebumps when I read that! What are they going to be selling these babies (Itaniums) for and what will the margins be?? Goosebumps on top of goosebumps!! I just counted 512 of them....goosebumps that is ;). Hey, it's a slow day. Thanks for the post.
