Idle Speculation RE: multi-cores

I wonder if part of Intel's Xeon->Itanium transition plans might not involve a dual core processor, one of which would be IPF, the other EM64T. Not sure how feasable that is from the hardware or software side, but IPF needs some way of getting better x86 performance if it wants to play in the Xeon space.
