That's not vapor. That's hardware although not quite ready for primetime.

Re: "Hmmm.. since that article ran August 22, 2000 and it was
an Intel spokeswoman, what happened? We still can't buy

the trade press has grown stone cold on Itanium as they
have had fantasy after fantasy told to them about Itanium"
