Talk:Itanium

message: I see that in the two ends of the range indicated for the FSB speed, the first end is expresed in MHz (MegaHertz i.e. millions of cycles per second) and the second one in GT/s (GigaTransfers per second). The two units are not the same and have not the same meaning. Hz is a unit used for referring to cycles per second, and since in one single cycle there can be more than one transfers (e.g. this is the case for DDR SDRAM memory), I deem this way of expressing figures for the same item could be misleading.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Per Microsoft's lifecycle page, here, Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems has a note that says "See the latest Service Pack listing for this product for the end of support dates."  The last service pack's end of life date is 1/14/2020, so this would imply that Itanium *is* still supported until 2020. That change shouldn't be reverted unless there is some (recent) article stating otherwise. The blog from 2010 is outdated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by S-1-5-7 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Windows end of Support 

message: From MOS:TENSE, events are past tense: designed, sold, manufactured, etc. Even though they stopped selling them, all the existing ones don't disappear. And even if they did, the design still exists. Since this article covers all the different models, and even all the instances (chips) of that model, it can still exist, even if none are still around. Shakespeare's plays still exist, even though he died, and are present tense. The actual example in MOS:TENSE came not so many years ago, when I was sitting next to a running PDP-10 and noticed that it was in past tense. Like Itanium, PDP-10 is a processor design, though there are still machines in that exist, and (at least before Covid-19) were still running. The VMS hobbyist program recent stopped supporting VAX, but still supports Alpha and Itanium. Sorry to hear about Linux. Gah4 (talk) 22:56, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
