Actually the way that I read this announcement is that McKinley the second generation Itanium class processor is ahead of schedule. There is no way that anyone from Intel could ever say with a straight face that the Itanium is ahead of schedule. They would get laughed of the face of the planet. Also of note is that HP is making the announcement. From what I know of HP they were responsible for developing a second generation Itanium processor and the code name was McKinley. This processor was expected to ship 12 to 18 months after the initial Intel developed Itanium processor. Now due to the many slips from the Intel Itanium chip team, we see that the HP's version of Itanium, McKinley will now ship only a few months after Itanium. At this point Intel might want to consider canceling the first generation Itanium entirely (due to performance problems) and go with the McKinley core as the first release of Itanium. That way they won't get as much bad press about the (lack of) performance. PS: Does anyone know if Intel is still using the term IA-64 to describe the Itanium architecture?
