Amy, I'm honored that you'd respond to a week old post like that. The most amusing treatment I've seen on the Itanic's revenue generation so far was in the Register back at the end of February. I hope Mike Magee can lure Andrew Orlowski over to his new rag, he's about the only guy I've seen there that can match Mike. Checking our notes (March 28 last year to be precise), the talk about Itanium was all main-memory databases, business intelligence and decision support, and NUMA clusters. Yesterday, it was almost a full hour by our clock before a panel member volunteered any of these subjects. The tech compute guys were happy with floating point performance, for sure. And the cost? Mahlon Stacy of the Mayo Clinic said "We got it for free - so price/performance was excellent." . . . theregister.co.uk That was a great article. The endless "We will bury you" huffing and puffing of the resident past and present Intel engineers is nowhere harder to take seriously than on the Itanic front.
