Intel Itanic bang on time to be late theinquirer.net Mike Magee noticed that story too, Duke, but he read it a little more closely. WHILE INTEL SEEMED TO BE telling The Inquirer at a breakfast meeting yesterday that its Itanium chip was bang on target (cough) for a summer production release, there's a different story over on Cnet. Intel holds a breakfast meeting for UK journos once a month, and yesterday's was about volume one unit (1U) servers. Executives at the meeting told a tale about how production Itanium chips would arrive this summer. But, buried right in the middle of this this story about a new Intel push, it appears we won't see Itanics until this autumn. So no change there on previous years then. µ I guess he meant this part: Intel's first IA-64 chip, Itanium, is considered a crucial step in Intel's efforts to challenge Sun Microsystems in the lucrative server market, but the chip has been a long time coming. Originally due at the end of 1999, the chip has been delayed several times since, while Intel worked to complete its design. The company later grappled with clock-speed problems and now plans to release the chip only at 733MHz, instead of 733MHz and 800MHz. Meanwhile, servers using production-level chips aren't expected until sometime this fall. Adding to the drama, most server makers have greater interest in McKinley, the follow-up to the first Itanium chip. news.cnet.com
