Itanic has lousy potential, Paul. The EPIC design is a mistake for everything but scientific simulations.

You have the CPU to yourself and want to simulate the weather, or a nuclear explosion? Great, go buy the non-beta version of Itanic, when available.

Need a server? Don't buy an EPIC CPU, then. All that careful, compiler-laid-out usage of the CPU is for nought with the constant thread & process swapping going on.
