In a strange twist of fate, the depreciated Itanium IA-64 architecture is getting a new lease on life, at least sort of.

Intel on Monday at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco unveiled its latest Itanium-based processor for mission-critical computing, code-named Poulson.

Intel said its roadmap for Itanium is on track with the unveiling of its Itanium-based Poulson processors earlier this year, which Skaugen said doubles the performance of its predecessor Tukwila.
