wbmw, I recall Intel 860 processor, I was somewhat related to it. Intel was pushing it, not very hard, but somewhat hard. The compiler support was perfect, no worse than Itanium today. OS support was limited only by the fact that the Linux did not exist then. Intel had some sort of Unix for it. Various high perfomance clusters were made and demonstrated unmatched performance.

I don't see too much of diference between i860 and Intanium, except natural industry differences made by Chronos.

So fate must be different. i860 died. Itanium will not die, but it will never get over 1% of the market.
