Intel and the Itanium 2

Test results from a prototype Itanium 2 processor show new promise for the 64-bit chip.
" Intel said that tests of prototype 1GHz Itanium 2 chips show that the improvements help the new chip deliver twice the performance of an 800MHz Itanium on tests such as Standard Performance Evaluation Corp.'s SPECint2000 and SPECfp2000, Intel said. The SPEC tests measure a computer's processor, memory and software performance. "
