Winemkr, Re: Say good bye to Itanium.

Rather strong words for someone who also admitted in their post that they don't know everything there is to know about this processor.

As a matter of fact, based on actual data, IPF is selling much higher volumes than it did last year. There is no sign (yet) of any decline. You should feel ashamed and embarrassed right now for throwing out obvious flame bait in the face of publicly available data to the contrary.

That is, unless you are like those who post similar comments who have no shame.

Don't you mean Itanic? I don't mean to be rude, because I don't know what you know, but I do have my doubts (about) Itanic based on the last couple of years following it's rise and decline.

Perhaps you should stick to making wine instead of indulging
so heavily in it. My evidence is your claim of a "decline" in
IPF. In the real *sober* world IPF sales have posted over
50% sequential quarter over quarter growth for at least the
last year and have already overtaken the two of the five high
end server RISC families with the third one likely to fall
later this year.

Who in god's name was the person that came up with that name. Was it launched with insider knowledge that it was doomed?

Probably a typical infantile Intel basher who'd rather call
it names than deal with the reality of IPF being born into
nearly across the board industry support. Or the fact that
the two best design teams of the RISC generation either
work for or with Intel on future generations of IPF.
