Intel will officially introduction of its Itanium 2 processor and its first
16-way multiprocessing chip set in the next few weeks. Intel is packing 3MB of
L3 cache on Itanium 2, 6MB for the Madison version and more for a Montecito in
2004 and multicore and multithreaded CPUs for delivery beyond that. The prices
are expected to range from $2,000 to $4,000. Intel E8870 chip set is its first

deliver a fully production-ready stack of operating systems and applications on
Itanium 2 to run app benchmarks. "
