"The Starship Enterprise has a lot of great features too, but try and get a ride on it. " But the EV7 is a done deal, architects and circuit designers have moved on to other CPUs. Not "if" but "when". Just like the Itanic. We knew Itanium would eventually come crawling out of the slime and it got its much deserved low-key intro. It is a dead/pilot CPU and most/all Wintel articles basically highlight that fact.
