For more integer-oriented tasks, where there are few instructions with multiple operations, running eight operations per second is the theoretical maximum.
Not bad... 12.5Hz out of an 800MHz processor:)
Chipset, OS, and system designers, which will include the likes of HP, IBM, Compaq, SGI, Microsoft and Intel, will bring out their own error handling and reliability processes that should further enhance Itanium-based server uptime to 99.9% and beyond.
Imagine that... an MS/Intel server down for less than 3.5 days in a year!
