Intel’s Itanium chip family runs 64-bit software, but it’s entirely different than the Windows/Linux software found on 32-bit machines, a factor that has held back acceptance. In the third quarter, around 10,700 Opteron servers left factories compared with 5,000 Itanium servers, according to IDC. Revenue from the Itanium servers, however, came to $123 million, compared with $61 million for Opteron servers.

Very few organizations are buying Itanium systems. AMDs are flying off the shelf," RedMonk analyst James Governor said. “Any server company that does not have an Opteron strategy is not listening to the market.”
schaut gut aus. solange sich Intel und AMD bekaempfen, ist es nur gut fuer uns. 
bin schon gespannt auf P4 3.4GHz gegen Athlon64 3400+/3700+…
