Itanic is a nickname that was coined for referring to Itanium. It is meant to denote the ship that sank Titanic. This is due to the failure of IA-64 that led to a heavy loss born by HP.
on x86-64 processors, yes. On Itanium, no.
xeon /Itanium
There are a number of specifications that make up the Itanium processor. These include 64 bit instruction, parallel processing, multiple cores and running speeds of up to 2.5GHz.
Windows XP 64-Bit Edition
Yes, except for Windows XP 64-bit and Windows Server 2003 64-bit with Itanium processors.
Itanium was created in 2001.
IBM - POWER series, PowerPC series, CBE series, Broadway core (Nintendo Wii), Xenon (Xbox 360) Intel - Pentium series, including Pentium M and Pentium D; Celeron value series; Core and Core 2 series; Xeon server processors; Itanium and Itanium 2; XScale low-power processors AMD - Various series of Athlons; Opteron series; Geode low-power processors
Almost all CPUs that have been used in personal computers since 1981 have been capable of supporting a desktop environment of some sort. This includes the Intel 8088 and descendants, the Motorola 68000, SPARC processors, PowerPC processors, ARM processors, Itanium processors, and Alpha processors. There are hundreds of models within each family, making a list of all of the ones that could support a desktop environment implausible.
There is no direct relationship whatsoever between the two. They are sometimes brought up in the same context because the Itanium is widely regarded as being a large and expensive failure, although they are still manufactured, sold, and supported by Intel and many manufacturers.
That depends on a few different factors. The highest-end servers will probably want Itanium processors. Mid-range servers would more likely be equipped with Xeons.
