The Itanic...err...Itanium is currently in its second version. It is not exactly flying off the shelves.

It's not RISC, but is a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) CPU.

Intel has recently given in, however, to the allure (and likely market success) of AMD's x86-64 approach, and will soon introduce similar affordable 64-bit processors.
