(Newsgroup list trimmed, as usual.)

AMD has managed to wrangle away nine of Intel's top processor
engineers. Samuel Naffziger and his eight colleagues were apart of
the design team that helped to develop the Itanium server processor.

They were apart... Assembly required?

As is the case with the typical PR machines, Intel doesn't see the
move as a big blow to its Itanium development even though Naziffiger
has been instrumental in the launches of McKinley and Montecito.

Did Intel launch Montecito? What happened? Did they miss the deadline
to push back the deadline?

Well, they are now apart from the Itanium. (Dailytech spelling, not
mine.) :-)

Yeah, I don't know about that. Maybe this is all happening a year into
the future and we're seeing time-travelled articles from the future?
That's of course assuming that Montecito will have been released a year
from now. :-)
