Hmaly, <We all saw that article last wk by the Japanese professor who said McKinley needed several more Iterations before it became viable.> I pay as much attention to that article as I pay to so-called "experts on terrorism." They may have good points here and there, but more likely than not they're missing the mark. Tenchusatsu

>for strategic business reasons it is targeting Sun Microsystems whose strength lies primarily in commercial computing.< Itanium is not a bad processor to address this market (or at least the high end of this market). However poor the integer performance of Itanium may be, it is better than UltraSPARC.
