首先还是让我们先来明确几个概念：安腾处理器是构建在IA-64（Intel Architecture 64），也就是说“IA-64是一个与x86代码的决裂，它是为未来设计的“。 所以它的对手不是Nocona或Opteron处理器，虽然有人错误地以这些处理器与它比较。

Itanium处理器代号为 Merced，是英特尔第一款专门应用在高端企业级64位技术环境中的产品（Intel Architecture 64，简称IA-64架构）。 这是为顶级、企业级服务器及 工作站 设计的，在Itanium处理器中体现了一种全新的设计思想，完全是基于平行并发计算而设计(EPIC) 。

Intel recently made an unprecedented public challenge to Microsoft and Qualcomm that basically told the latter two companies: if you ship an x86 instruction set architecture (ISA) emulator, we ...

Intel has announced that it will fulfill the final shipment of Itanium 9700 processors on July 29, 2021. The company says orders must be placed no later than January 30, 2020 (spotted by Anandtech ).

The 9500-series processors utilize the Intel Itanium Architecture (also known as the IA64 ISA), and are used in large mainframe-like systems for mission-critical applications where redundancy and ...

That Itanium is nearing the end of its life is a surprise, given that Intel just took the wraps off of its next major Itanium microarchitecture revision, codenamed Poulson, at this past ISSCC.

The Itanium 9500 series is touted as the most sophisticated Intel processor to date with a new micro-architecture design. Written by Rachel King, Contributor Nov. 8, 2012 at 8:54 a.m. PT ...

It took nearly 10 years to move from HP's early EPIC architecture to the full-blown Intel Itanium. The first Itanium release was pitched as a 'trial' version.

Intel has scaled back plans for the next version of Itanium in a move that raises questions about the future of the 64-bit server chip, used primarily in Hewlett-Packard's high-end Integrity servers.

Intel hasn’t provided an Itanium roadmap ahead of Kittson. The new chip succeeds the older Itanium 9500 series code-named Poulson, which started shipping in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Itanium was one of the most exotic CPU architectures Intel ever built. Built in conjunction with HP, it was Intel's first 64-bit CPU architecture.
