cj,

Realize though, an Intel X86-64 will not appear until Intel decides to pull the plug on Itanium. Because that is what will happen.

What do you think about my theory of the mother of all lawsuits that would follow the cancelation of Itanium?

I think the better idea would be to starve Itanium of resources, not make it attractive, and run the program to the ground gradually. Afterall, Intel version of x86-64 will not happen overnight.

If the word gets out of Intel x86-64, it would greatly expedite the death of Itanium.

Joe

combjelly, all the 'bees in the Intel thread vehemently oppose the view that Intel will have to make an x86-64 clone. I had this long drawn battle a couple of weeks ago and not one of them felt it was a possibility.
