Also where did they get the info that early silicon of IA64 was running at 500 mhz? Did they verify the story or the sources?



This was at a recent demo at the Taiwan computer show, and I can't find a link. The article I read just said that was the speed of the chip- draw your own conclusions about what that means for the future.

As for SSL- you're absolutely right, this is a specific area where Itanium will shine vs other cpu's . There is though already dedicated server hardware sold for helping with server side encryption. I doubt Itanium will beat its speed.

Does anyone remember intel's 860 chip? It needed a "smart" compiler too!

I haven't a clue - maybe they dreamt up these numbers.

Re: "Also the current hot companies targeted to be acquired seems to be companies doing encryption chips. Do you know of any of them?"

Not off the top of my head.
