Intel goes with new architecture only in 2010

But, obviously not with sunken Itanium.
When will Intel's true chips of the future arrive?

"We nominally target basically the end of the decade for the initial introduction of these technologies," Rattner said. "We may beat that in a particular instance."
So, Intel now "tries to resist the natural urge to invent something new.
It's a lesson that only cost Intel a few billion dollars to learn.

What that new architecture might show? I firmly believe only CSI and AMD's me too technology on specialized coprocessors. Too little, too late? However, until the year 2010 AMD might grab more than 50% of X86 market.!?
Except, of course, ONLY in the case that Intel's new architecture is elegantly blended into existing venerable, classic X86 one. Better, than AMD will do. Longterm, I see Itanium as an ugly balcony on the middle builiding on Intel's modern architecture picture.

On the other side, modern cylindrical building right on the picture above, that should represent what will remain from Intel's architecture in the end, unpleasantly remains me on Gemaku dome on picture left, building that the only remained on the place of first atomic explosion in Hiroshima, Japan.

On the other side, Intel new architecture would be well adopted to lower power consumption, after the world soon run out of oil and gas. Seems a lot of problems ahead. What to do? No more space for new mistakes.
