Tukwila chip will be six months later at least
Tukwila chip will be six months later at least because they could not compete with Nehalem chips. DDR3 will now be added which requires the pins to be changed.
Too bad VMWare does not run on Itanium. HP actually uses charts which says "Integrity Virtual Machine - The "VMWare" for Itanium" what a joke. IVM is a modified HP-UX. The overhead is unreal.
