You mean AMD was trying to create an incompatible standard
when they developed x86-64 to compete with Itanium.


Interesting you use "incompatible" to describe x86-64. AFAICT, there are/were several compatible implementations of it, and it was backwards compatible with x86 as well.

How many vendors sell/sold IA64 processors? How likely is it that there will ever be more than a single source for this "standard"?
