Possibly irrelevant considering
this. Also, are Itaniums being distributed in desktop computers in mass production? I thought most of the Itanium's to date have been divied out to testers for testing, but not for general consumption.
Apple wasn't making the claim they are the first to have a 64-bit processor, for God's sake those have been around for a while. Their statement was that they are the first to have a 64-bit based desktop computer, as opposed to a workstation or server.
The only other 64-bit competitor I can see right now is AMD with their 64-bit Athlon coming out last I heard in September. Though they do have the Opteron out right now, but I haven't seen where its been pushed or picked up by consumers.
