What About Itanium?
• While typical MPE/iX applications may not show
much performance improvement just from running
on 64-bit processors…
• “The Intel Itanium 2 processor is not only 64-bit, it is
designed for parallel performance. It has a number of
enhancements like data speculation, advanced prefetch
and predication, and a very powerful floating point
architecture to ensure it performs extremely well.”

• These other enhancements in Itanium 2 may help
improve performance of migrated MPE/iX applications.
