Intel’s compiler was a bit better than some but still wasn’t great. Largely, Intel quickly lost interest in Itanium when AMD64 started selling well. HP had their own tooling, and HP was pretty much the only customer buying Itaniums. Intel quit investing in Itanium beyond what their contractual obligations to HP dictated. I am curious about what could have been, but my assumption is that a mature and optimized software industry would be required. This was never going to happen after the launch of AMD64. |
