I am not so sure that "idiotic" is the proper characterization. I believe that intel's actions were well thought out. rudedog, with industry insight does not believe that intel's actions are all that intentional. AMD has spent a lot of time developing 32-64, while Intel has sold billions of dollars worth of Xeons, while at the very least, using Itanium as a sort of student body left play against sun and ibm. Now, as I understand, Intel has the right to merely copy AMD code and add it to Xeon. How dumb is that? What is at issue is the future of "The Code That Never Dies", X-86. :)) Can 86-64 running on a 7 gigahertz 32 bit processor provide the same server capability as a Itanium? I sure don't know.
