Tenchusatusu, thanks for the info, Itanium will be launched this quarter, and McKinley will be launched in the middle of next year. Both are 0.18u processors.

I didn't realize McKinley was still on 0.18. If you follow the thread back, combjelly was arguing that Intel would give up on IA-64 and switch to an architecture similar to AMD's x86-64. But I don't think Intel would even consider that until McKinley was at least available as samples for OEM testing.

Shouldn't McKinley's first implementation be on 0.13? Why build your next gen processor on yesterday's process technology?
