Intel, which has had its commitment to the Itanium platform challenged by Oracle, says it will ship the next version of the server processor on schedule next year. Kirk Skaugen, VP and general manager of Intel’s Data Center Group, underscored the company’s support for the 64-bit RISC architecture during his Wednesday keynote at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. While the next version of Itanium, codenamed Poulson, will launch on time, Intel still refuses to provide a narrower timetable.
