GVTucker, <<<Alpha/Intel is now official. Here's the details, conference call at 9 AM EDT today.>>> IMO, this is a very significant announcement (even though you sort of imply that it was expected and perhaps discounted). Most of the tech savvy AMD advocates on this and the AMD threads have dismissed the Itanium as some sort of joke. I don't expect that Joe Osha or Drew Peck have any better understanding of IA64 and the server market than the techies on these threads. The proof of the pudding will be in the earnings of the chip in the future. We shall see. <<<Compaq will consolidate its entire 64-bit family of servers onto the Itanium microprocessor architecture by 2004. In one bold stroke, Compaq is extending its 10 years of leadership in 64-bit computing for the next decade and beyond. Compaq will deliver an additional generation of Alpha technology (EV7) to advance system performance prior to the new generation of the Itanium-based systems, for which the company will provide tools and support for a smooth customer transition. >>> <<<The new family of Compaq enterprise servers will support Tru64 Unix, Open VMS, and NonStop Kernel, complementing the company's market leadership in Windows 2000 and Linux .>>> <<<Compaq is transferring significant Alpha microprocessor and compiler technology, tools and resources to Intel. >>> <<<Compaq will immediately begin to port Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS and NonStop Kernel operating systems and development tools to the Itanium processor family. Operating system and application development tools compatibility protects customers' long-term investments in Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS, and NonStop Kernel, as well as advancing the capabilities for Windows 2000 and Linux on ProLiant.>>> <<<Compaq and Intel have agreed to joint engineering development focused on advanced parallelism for high-end computing>>>
