Intel ships 6000 Itaniums

Since the beginning of the year, Intel says it's shipped 6000 Itanics for evaluation and has just started a pilot programme under which selected large corporates - including Wells Fargo Bank and CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics - get systems to play with.


My Comments: Intel claimed to have shipped 6,000 Itanium systems back in September. It is these types of inaccurate statements that led me to stop reading The Register web site about 18 months ago. I find the Register's speculation and attention to detail to be worth zilch. A Register article isn't worth the hard disk space it is stored on. If information is not accurate, it is worth nothing. I'm totally f&$#ing sick of opinions and speculation.

Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif., has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on getting these systems ready for pilot production during the fourth quarter and large-scale commercial sales in the first half of next year. The chipmaker has already shipped almost 30,000 Itaniums for use in more than 6,000 prototype servers and workstations.
