So you mean the first CPU in the Itanium family didn't cut it at all for IBM? I guess the time to beat is then either:

2 years from the introduction of the Opteron family

or

9 months from the introduction of the Opteron2

whichever comes first.

IBM's new '450 server is based on the Itanium 2, aka McKinley. It was introduced about 9 months ago.

So why is this article announcing that they are going on sale dated April 29? http://news.com.com/2100-1010-998878.html?tag=cd_mh
