Intel once again delays Itanium chip

21.05.2009

During an investors conference last week, Intel's CEO Paul Otellini tried to build enthusiasm around Itanium by pointing out the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Sparc chip after Oracle acquired Sun. Otellini said customers could increasingly adopt Itanium servers as they abandon Sparc chips. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has however denied any plans to abandon the Sparc chip.
