Intel Launches Itanium 9300 Tukwila Processor

Our Comments

Tukwilas will have a very hard time competing not only against IBM's Power7 processor but also against AMD Opterons and Intel's own Xeon processors which will reach 6-cores (and 12 threads) later this month. AMD has a 12-core Magny-cours processor coming soon, as early as March 2010.
