Ref < Intel will have to drive this by decreasing the die size of ITanium - 3'rd and 4'th generation off-shoots - and selling them with support circuits/motherboards for "reasonable" prices >

The cost of Itanium is surely headed downward. I believe McKinley has an integrated cache a la Coppermine. Thus the expensive cartridge will be history. Process shrinks will in due time reduce the silicon cost as well. Thus the cost differential between the IA-64 and IA-32 will drop.

The lower cost will give Intel greater flexibility in pricing and positioning the IA-64. The key issue will be what new unique 64bit mass applications become viable if the pricing differential between the IA-32 and IA-64 drops ?

Hi Paul, RE: "Do you think that is Intel's intention?"

I doubt Microsoft would put the resources behind IA64 unless this was Intel's strategic intention.

Intel has stated their intention to move Itanium onto the desktop in 2007.
