Given that Intel is even making a comment like this would only mean that things are far worse then their letting on...

<i>Intel was forced to announce EM64T earlier than it hoped, because rival Advanced Micro Devices was stealing too much thunder with its own version of the technology, AMD64</i>

Their "own version" ... isn't it THEIR technoloyg?

Itanium has always be hanging on by a thread, I wonder what would happen to SGI if Itanium went under since as far as I know SGI's strategy is to move over from MIPS to Itanium (as they have in their Altix servers.) ... not that SGI is very relevant anymore.
