It then talks about the PIII stuff they are going to ship in the next year. No dates for IA64 stuff. It also calls the IA64 a "low-cost" part, which flies in the face of everything I have heard about it. (and everything Intel...). Standard "gee whiz" marketing piece, with no substance. The only thing I see is that Intel is further behind than I thought htey were.
