Intel neuters Montvale, the IPF successor to Montecito.

Looks like they are winding down the IPF boondoggle.

A choice quote:


INTEL CASTRATED MONTVALE a couple of weeks ago. The chip was supposed to be the 65 nanometre shrink of Montecito, the great white hope for Itanium's future, with enough tweaks to make it a solid upgrade. Instead of that, the plug on the project was basically pulled, and it will be a 90 nanometre chip with the most minor of upgrades, a little more cache, and some other enhancements.
