Intel to ship more than 100,000 Itanium 2's this year

Kirk Skaugen, general manager of the Asia Pacific Solutions Group at Intel, said that the growing number of applications supporting the Itanium 2 platform should help Intel to ship more than 100,000 Itanium 2 procesors this year.
Citing data released by International Data Corporation (IDC), Skaugen said Itanium 2 shipments are expected to surpass shipments of the processors used in Hewlett-Packard (HP) PA-RISC servers in 2005, those used in IBM Power-series servers in 2006, and those used in Sun Microsystems Sparc servers in 2007.
The Itanium 2 platform boasts a cost advantage over traditional RISC architecture, prompting more and more server OEMs to start producing Itanium 2-based solutions, Skaugen claimed.
Skaugen estimated that the number of OEM clients using the Itanium 2 platform will surpass 100 by year-end, up from 70, while applications designed to run on the platform will total more than 2,000.
