  I doubt that mass production of Itaniums would be kept the prices that high.

    Having a monopoly on the production of them would have. Example: Intel HEDT pricing before and after AMD Ryzen Threadripper release.

      Intel already had a kind of monopoly and the prices were going down. In Portugal there were only PCs with Intel CPUs around, the Cyrix, NEC and other clones were hardly anywhere to find until the first Athlons came to be.
