HP today announced that HP Integrity customers will gain the advantages of Intel’s latest quad-core processor, enabling them to enhance business results and maximize their technology infrastructure investments for the future.

The Intel® Itanium® 9300 processor, formerly known as Tukwila, brings significantly increased performance along with a range of new reliability, scalability and virtualization features. By incorporating this processor into the next generation of HP Integrity servers, HP is positioned to deliver innovations in resiliency, flexibility and automation through a Converged Infrastructure.

Combined with the advanced virtualization, business continuity and automation capabilities of the HP-UX 11i operating environment, the features of the new processor will allow customers to quickly address changing mission-critical demands to drive business growth.

I remain a fan of the Itanium processor, granted it’s not something that I would recommend for everyone, but deployed in the right configuration, and using an optimized operating system, they can be an effective high performance solution, anything Intel and HP can do to continue evolving the platform has to be a good thing for the industry and in competition between the high performance processor platforms.
