Now what Intel?

The move away from the dinosauric x86 is long overdue. The IA-64 was a radical move away from the old trashy IA32. You dod not stay the course though, and became jittery when the 100s of $$$ from Itanium sales did not materialize.

What did you expect? It is a marathon and everybody knows that. But how can you perform so poorly when even miniscule SUN can still come up with some breakthroughs and you cannot? Is the addiction to fast cash so strong?

If HP was not ther to help out in the design of th Itanium and of the systems based on it, Itanium would had dissappeared already.

But the simple question I cannot answer is, how come small AMD can pull off a better processor than you did with your own Pentiums and Xeons that you did?

If Intel with all the resources and know-how cannot be a leader in the next generation of CISC/EPIC technology then WHO?

Just roll-up the sleaves and WORK on Itanium to make it a processor of the future. Memory subsystem and inerconnect IS also equally important. A chip by itself is just like an engine without transmission/wheels.
