Ik lees bij The Adrenaline Vault dat Intel een naampje heeft verzonnen voor hun IA-64 processor, voorheen gecodenaamd Merced. Deze chip gaat nu door het leven als Itanium.
Intel today announced the brand name for its first product in its IA-64 family of processors, formerly code-named Merced. Behold the Itanium which Intel hopes will extend its reach into the powerful server and high-performance workstation market. Itanium engineering samples have already been delivered to Intel customers with the processor's production on schedule for mid-2000. Intel expects that Itanium based servers and workstations will then be available in the second half of 2000.
