Duke,

Intel has reiterated its plan to merge its Xeon and Itanium system architectures during the next three years...

Today, Xeon MP processors are plugged into mPGA603 sockets, while Itanium 2 chips go into mPGA700 sockets.

Good news for Opteron. Every transition Intel forces its customers to go through is an opportunity to transition to Opteron instead.
