安腾曾经被很多人认为是一个过渡性的产品,不管是在性能上还会在市场接受度上。按照 IDC 的数据统计,安腾处理器自问世以来,在全球的销量没有超过3000颗。而同样是64位处理器,Alpha 仅仅在中国的用户数就已经上千,更不用提普及度更高的 Sparc Ⅲ了。那么,经过了1年多时间的市场培育,并且性能比安腾高出1.5～2倍,安腾2能改写前一代产品安腾所遭遇的销售惨淡的命运吗?大多数分析家对此都持怀疑态度。尽管分析家都承认安腾2的性能出色,在需要高密集运算的生物科学计算领域会变得流行起来,但安腾2正值经济的寒冬时期推出,企业用户大幅度削减了 IT开支,在新技术的应用上会更加保守:没有经过验证的技术它们不会采用,因为验证过程会消耗大量的经费和
Itanium was considered by many to be a transitional product, both in terms of performance and market acceptance. According to IDC statistics, Itanium processors since its inception, sales in the world no more than 3000. The same is a 64-bit processor, Alpha has thousands of users in China alone, not to mention the more popular Sparc Ⅲ. Well, after more than a year of market development and performance 1.5 to 2 times higher than Itanium, Itanium 2 can rewrite the fate of the previous generation of Itanium sales suffered bleak? Most analysts are right Skeptical Although analysts recognize that Itanium 2 performs well and is gaining popularity in the field of biosciences that require intensive computing, Itanium 2 was introduced during the economic winter and saw significant reductions in IT spending by business users, New technologies are more conservative: they are not used without proven technology because the verification process can cost a lot of money and
