Intel sees dual-core Itanium by 2005

SAN JOSE, Calif.--Intel plans to cross an important technology threshold midway through the decade by squeezing two Itanium chips onto a single slice of silicon.
On higher-end networked server computers, two or more processors often share computing tasks. With chip manufacturing advances, chipmakers can unite pairs of processors so they're etched onto a single slice of silicon, making the chips less expensive and therefore more competitive.

"The middle of the decade is when we'll do that," said Mike Fister, general manager of Intel's Enterprise Platforms Group, at a news conference at the Intel Developer Forum here on Tuesday. Intel will make the move either using its next-generation manufacturing process, which can create circuitry with 90-nanometer features, or using the 65-nanometer generation after that, Fister said.

... and the rest of the world has yet to see an Itanium at all.
