doug,

re: That's because the Itanium isn't a PRODUCT.

The Itanium IS the emulator, a very expensive, tardy one at that, for the next-generation EPIC-chip.

Intel has already admitted as much.

Nevermind that the EPIC architecture itself turns out to be a bad idea 10 years after it was conceived; times have changed, and we need many more web servers than
supercomputers crunching the weather forecast.


Itanium is coming, get over it!

No more need for supercomputers, I guess when Jerry Sanders can control the weather - who needs a supercomputer?
