In their pre-disappointment dreams, did Intel ever imagine the Itanium architecture coming to commodity PCs? Intel is well-known for their decade-long roadmaps, and if Itanium had succeeded and consumer-class machines had been in their sights, they would have needed a part on such a roadmap. But I don’t remember ever hearing about it. They must have been planning to segment the market, possibly more aware than most that if they didn’t, fast, low-margin x86 had a good chance of winning everywhere. I guess they did alright with Xeon.
