Intel has informed its clients in Taiwan that the launch of its new Itanium 2 processor, codenamed Madison 9M, will be postponed by one quarter to the fourth quarter of this year.
As indicated previously, the Madison 9M will have a 9MB L3 cache but it will run at a clock speed of 1.6GHz, instead of the originally planned 1.7GHz, said sources at Taiwan server makers.
The delay has raised doubts about Intel?s plan to launch a dual-core version, codenamed Montecito, for its Itanium 2 server line in the third quarter of next year, the sources noted.
Some sources said the delay may have been caused by Intel dedicating too many of its resources toward its goal of a mid-2005 implementation of a dual-core Smithfield processor for desktops, instead of sometime in 2006 as originally planned
