This Inquirer news story details that Intel will likely drop the Itanium CPU in favor of an x86-64 one.
According to a story up there, and based on an engineer, who quite sensibly declines to be named, the "Yamhill Technology" which is essentially based on X86-64 features, will be built into allegedly 32-bit chip Prescott with the option to turn the code on or off, depending on how well the Intel folk think sales of Itanic are still crap, and sales of Hammer are very good.
