Intel Corp. has once again delayed the release of its next-generation Itanium server processor to develop undisclosed "application scalability" enhancements.
The schedule set May 21 calls for the server chip, code-named Tukwila, to ship in the first quarter of 2010.
Tukwila had initially been slated for release early this year, but in February the company announced that it would have to delay it until mid-2009 in order to add a faster interconnect and support for new technologies like DDR3 memory.
A spokesman said the latest updates will be designed to speed the performance of highly threaded workloads.
