We'll have IA-64 (Itanium) capability in the next 30 to 60 days," she said. The current EXA chipset is the foundation of the current x440 system that accommodates as many as 16 Intel Xeon processors and of an Itanium version that IBM websites refer...
Itanium chips currently include circuitry that lets them run the 32-bit software of 'IA-32' processors such as Xeon or Pentium. The new software approach, called the IA-32 Execution Layer and code-named btrans, will give the forthcoming 1.5GHz...
There's a new contender on the horizon, though, a NASA system called Columbia that SGI is building with 10,240 Intel Itanium processors. Another contender for a high rank is a system at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, which hit the number three...
Systems using Intel Itanium processors, another mainstream alternative and the chip used in Columbia, increased from 61 to 87 over the same period. A total of 236 of the 500 systems use the same Intel Xeon processors that show up in the majority of...
HP said in a statement that its investment is designed to "vault Intel Itanium 2-based HP Integrity servers to the leadership position in the $20bn market currently served by RISC processors". One of the chief stumbling blocks in Intel's Itanium...
