Here are some other interesting links:
   http://www.intel.com/products/processor/itanium2/index.htm

The rumor is that it is a move towards the Itanium, which is big 
endian, just as the IBM PowerPC chips, developed by Intel and HP 
together. So it seems to be both right business and development 
moves. One should get even more computing
power.
