So what’s going on here? HP just announced that it will dump its line of Itanium (Intel) workstations in favor of other designs that include both 32- and 64-bit compatible solutions (AMD).

Ordinarily, a company’s switch from one CPU to another is a big, but not necessarily great, deal. The problem here is that HP partnered with Intel to develop the Itanium. HP insisted that it would still deploy Itaniums in its server line.
