RE:"exactly, expectations were lowered a while back. Recall the Itanium deal, does anyone care anymore that it was what 3,4,5 or 20 years late. Of course, it would be a crime not make fun of it but it is no longer a problem, at least, from the lateness point of view.
Currently intel has different problems with itanium:
1) lack of demand
2) upcoming competition from both intel itself and amd
3) possibly cost of production"

Intel can always take iTanium slow and develop a x86-64 chip in the meantime....
Maybe 5 years from now it will look better (itanium)...
