I read "itanium-like" not in terms of architecture, but in market timing, delivery on performance promises, and scalability for future revisions.



I think Larrabee is a lot more promising than Itanium ever was. At the bare minimum, it's a server-like x86 processor.

I would prefer something with a more elegant ISA than an x86, but that's what we have in front of us now, thanks to the huge mass of non-portable x86 code that's so critical for success on the desktop...
