Itanium and Itanium 2 have full x86 hardware built into the chip (for better or worse ;-). The speed isn't as good as the fastest x86 chips today, but it's faster (~300MHz P6) than the PCs many of us are using and it certainly meets my needs better than any other x86 "emulation" I have used in the past (which includes FX!32 and its relatives for Alpha). --david - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
