Itanium unit sales flat.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/20/intel_swope_riddle/
According to IDC, the quarter-by-quarter unit volume for Itanium servers since the fourth quarter of 2003 goes as follows:

* Q403 7616
* Q104 8678
* Q204 8085
* Q304 8235
* Q404 8996
* Q105 8127
* Q205 8500
* Q305 8596

It's true that Itanium server revenue has gone up as a result of larger systems being sold, but you can see how flat shipments have been. Meanwhile, IBM has surged from similar Power volumes in 2001 to shipping more than 100,000 servers per year, and Sun is up to more than 300,000 SPARC servers shipped per year.
