Intel Investors - IBM is readying ITanium Software Support "IBM Corporation (NYSE: IBM - news) today announced that its Application Solution Center* here is currently performing 64-bit porting exercises to prepare for Intel's (NasdaqNM: Intel) new Itanium(TM) processor, due later this year." Paul {============================} biz.yahoo.com Friday October 27, 1:00 pm Eastern Time Press Release IBM Software Ready For New Intel Chip INTERNET WIRE -- Planning ahead, IBM Corporation (NYSE: IBM - news) today announced that its Application Solution Center* here is currently performing 64-bit porting exercises to prepare for Intel's (NasdaqNM: Intel) new Itanium(TM) processor, due later this year. The ASC, dedicated to maximizing the performance of IBM's industry-leading software, has been certified by Intel as a fully qualified 32-bit performance tuning and 64-bit porting center. The award-winning IBM DB2 Universal Database* was the first product tested with the new chip and was prominently featured running on new processor at LinuxWorld in mid-August.. "The ASC is just one way we're maintaining our competitive advantage in the software space," said Rodney Thomas, Project Manager for the IBM ASC. "We've created a real-world environment that meets Intel's guidelines - allowing our team to tune and refine our software with Intel's fastest processors, including the new 64-bit Itanium(TM) chip. While a majority of the tuning and porting exercises in the ASC are focused on Windows applications, we are starting to expand our efforts to include other operating platforms, such as Linux*." With simulated workstations located throughout the ASC, IBM engineers are currently working on 64-bit porting exercises, as well as fine-tuning IBM software for 32-bit processors to ensure maximum performance. "The IBM Application Solution Center is offering developers facilities and tools to accelerate the introduction of Itanium processor-based software solutions," said Dan Russell, General Manager of the Intel Solutions Enhancement Group. "The tools and training offered will provide customers of IBM software on Itanium processor-based systems an improved computing experience."

Ther Pentium 4 was designed with high GHz as its major objective. Integer performance was not optimized - except as to NOT INTERFERE with clocking at high speeds. Then why design a double speed core, if you can't advertise that speed on the front of the box? Unless of course, it already is- that's the only way I can make sense of it.
