“Intel’s Itanium chip isn’t even for sale yet, but already it’s
become a revenue generator for Linux company Red Hat.”
“The company today announced services, some of them free and
some of them costing a fee, for companies that wish to bring their
software or hardware to the Itanium chip. The announcement was made
at today’s Intel Developer Forum in San Jose, Calif.“
“Itanium, which has been delayed by Intel so that systems won’t
arrive until next year, is the first in a family of 64-bit chips
from the company. It hopes to use Itanium and future 64-bit chips
to overpower high-end computer systems from Sun Microsystems, IBM,
Compaq Computer and others.”
