>SSB thinks that Intel will release "Yamhill" plans within
couple of weeks. Is Intel giving up on ia64?<

Even if Intel announces plans to produce "Yamhill" this would not mean they are giving up on IA64. Just as Hammer is not intended to compete against IA64, so too "Yamhill" will not be intended to replace IA64. IA64 will live on in high end 8-way plus configurations while Intel will only support "Yamhill" in up to 4-way configurations.

Like AMD's 32-bit internal/64-bit external processor, Sledgehammer (which is targeted at the desktop), it will probably take the P4 into the next generation of desktops.

Perhaps SSB would be more credible if they showed less ignorance about the Sledgehammer architecture.

Albert, I think Yamhill is FUD in order to stem the tide of development for x86-64. Basically, anyone who thought x86-54 is viable for the desktop and was planning to allocate resources to x86-64 now has to allocate some resources to Yamhill and maybe cancelling their x86-64 plans. Sort of what happened with HT vs Intel's next gen io which even AMD had to support.
