The Itanium is an IA-64 microprocessor developed jointly by Hewlett-Packard and Intel. Itanium is a 64-bit RISC microprocessor based on the EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing) design philosophy. Itanium is designed to replace Intel's Xeon line of processors. As a proprietary architecture (not derived from x86), AMD would not be able to clone it. Over time, there was even an aspiration it might transition to high end desktops.
