OK Thanks.

Second question: It was my impression that "Itanium" was to IA64 was Pentium
was to 80x86. Just a brand name to a "current" set of chips implementing an
architecture. The First IA64 wasn't an Itanium, it was a Merced, right ?

Does this mean that Intel commits to keeping "Itanium" brand name for its IA64
architecture for the remaining life of that chip ?
