In fact, Itaniums reliability problems go beyond its much higher component count. The interesting thing is that, since Itanium is basically a triple core CPU, it might have had enhanced reliability (since a straightforward triple core CPU could have reduced component count, somewhat).

These comments have completely split off from reality.
Bring them back to earth if you want to be taken the
slightest bit seriously.

"No, because it has a lower component count, leading to fewer opportunities for error during manufacturing and test."

More puke, again.

Sure - AMD's Opteron has " supposedly" no need of a chip set. Then why do all Opteron boards contain chip sets?
Maybe you can list the number of chips on comparable Xeon-based systems and Opteron based systems?

Do you?
No.
You never present data.
You just present Dan3 gobbledygook.

Dan3 - Itanium is basically a triple core CPU

Your comment is a lie. Itanium is a single core CPU. I suggest you go research this.
