Intel Itanium2 Processor

1. Its not new .. certainly not to the civilian market at least 
2. Normal "civilians" wont be using Itanium2 setups because (a) im guessing they are on the order of $5000USD per chip (b) 96% of computer users out there dont know how to manage the OS/environment for that platform -- no they dont use windows and (c) Itanium2s are really kinda like a big brother to the Xeons and they are used similarly ... in clusters
3. I think the Itanium2s are the only generic chip of their class (i cant remember if they share that class or not with Alpha setups or not, i dont think so but thy are similar in implementation)
