Intel Itanium Processor 9100 Series

The Dual-Core Intel Itanium 9100 series 64-bit processor delivers scalable performance with two high- performance cores per processor, memory addressability up to 1024 TB, 24 MB of on-die cache, and a 667 MHz front-side bus. It also includes multi-threading capability (two threads per core) and support for virtualization in the silicon.

Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) technology is designed to enable parallel throughput on a enormous scale, with up to six instructions per clock cycle, large execution resources

(128 general-purpose registers, 128 floating point registers and 8 branch registers) and advanced capabilities for optimizing parallel throughput.

The processors deliver mainframe-class reliability, availability, and serviceability features with advanced error detection and correction and containment across all major data pathways and the cache subsystem. They also feature integrated, standards-based error handling across hardware, firmware, and the operating system.
