Intel Delays Itanium "Montecito" Processor Release
Looks like those waiting on Intel's new Montecito processor will have to wait a half year longer as the launch has been delayed. Looks like the entire Itanium processor family is going to get shifted down the road map after this is all done and over with.
On Monday, Scott McLaughlin, Intel spokesman, said thousands of the new Montecito processors had already been seeded out for testing with customers. However, instead of ramping the product for a full launch early next year, this had been put back to the middle of 2006 "until we are satisfied with the quality coming from Montecito." This would impact follow-on Itanium processors on Intel's road map, he said. Montvale would now appear in 2007 rather than 2006 and Tukwila would arrive in 2008 rather than 2007. Madison is the current version of Itanium and the spokesman said Montecito was still on track to provide double the performance of the present generation.
