Some things the article says makes me think this is nothing to get excited about. "targeting the high-priced, back-end server market" - This makes me think "nothing new here, the Itanium has been out of the price range of everyone for years anyway." I can't imagine them competing with the Opteron (much less Athlon64) if they can't come way down in price. It says something about a lower end cpu for workstations, but the way they put it (maybe it's just the writer), it makes it sound (to me) that the high-end Itanium will still be significantly more than the Opteron, and the low-end Itanium will still be significantly more than the Athlon64, and that the really-low-end Xeon might be in the price range of the Opteron. "Intel servers containing eight to 128 Itanium processors..." So Bob, what is the expected speedup of Crafty on a 128-Itanium machine? :)
