Вот первый абзац отттуда:
"
Basically, Itanium chips still aren't yielding at 733/800 MHz, and most dev systems are at 500MHz, the system bus is 100MHz SDR instead of 133 DDR, still have problems with compilers and OS. I think it was The Register who first dubbed the Itanium as "Itanic", though I could be wrong - still looks appropriate though.
