HP developed the idea behind Itanium before entering into a 1993 partnership under which Intel handles most of the work of designing and building it. HP's work has given the company a financial edge over competitors besides just the extra years of design experience, the source said. HP gets a deeper discount on Itanium processors than HP competitors, the sourse said. Because Intel doesn't pay HP Itanium royalties, that discount helps to offset some of the billions of research dollars that HP spent on Itanium, the source said. news.com.com Could this explain Dell's lack of appetite for Itanium?
