HP, Intel Call it Quits on Itanium Partnership

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the better-luck-next-time dept.

envisionary writes "Hewlett-Packard Co. and Intel Corp. have ended their partnership to co-develop the Itanium 64-bit processor line, according to a report from Reuters. The move follows disappointing sales for servers based on the processor, according to the report. Intel and HP developed the processor about 10 years, but the chip has been a flop due to delays, cost overruns and lackluster demand."

    I think it's pretty clear the Intanium is dead. I predict that within
    3 years HP will officially abandon it and Intel will stop making it.
