Yesterday Intel showed silicon for a 1.7Billion transistor dual core Itanium processor. I'm not so familiar with Itanium's design for multiprocessing. IBM has a dual core too, but none of these compete directly with AMD. TP

Re: Yesterday Intel showed silicon for a 1.7Billion transistor dual core Itanium proc Meanwhile, the 3.4ghz Prescott that was claimed to be "shipping for revenue" almost 6 months ago is *still* not available (other than as a few samples for reviewers). The difference between what Intel tells its stockholders it's producing, and what's actually available for sale even 6 months later has never been so large. So how many years away is that dual core Itanium? Will the IPF family still exist by the time it's volume production ready?
