Intel promises next-generation Itanium still 2012
Intel will later this year introduce the new 32-nm variant "Poulson" Itanium CPU's. The current Itanium processor 9300 "Tukwila" dates from 2010. Intel countered by announcing rumors that CPU line would be discontinued. Rather, it is with "Kittson" continue the Poulson's successor in the planning.
Poulson and Kittson are announced for 2007. Regarding the expected as Intel Itanium 9500 Poulson had at ISSCC 2011 reveal a wealth of details: the chip with 3.1 billion transistors to eight multi-threaded cores, have a ring bus and 50 MB cache.
The largest customer for the 64-bit CPUs is co-developer Hewlett-Packard, which uses it in its high-end servers with the company's own operating system, HP-UX. The company had recently prevailed in a dispute with Oracle software to the Itanium. Oracle did not offer Itanium-based versions of its software more because it is in his opinion, is a dying art. HP did however find the court that it has a valid contract for the provision of Oracle software.
