VLIW architectures are a fucking meme and IA-64 deserved it's fate. It's now in the trash bin, where all inferior tech goes. Shit design, shit compilers, stupid name. RISC is easier and cheaper to design while usually being more power efficient by its very nature. RISC is the Unix philosophy applied to hardware.

Itanium was ahead of it's time - it's the predecessor to speculative execution, which is pretty cool.

>he predecessor to speculative execution
Dude every program should be rewrite to run on this cpu.
Imagine the chaos

It was actually good for what it was designed.

It exists

Have you ever browser r/linuxmasterrace? It's exactly like Jow Forums. There's no denying that.

Speculative execution was a thing in PCs long before Itanium was released and in mainframes and supercomputers long before the project even started.

That said, Itanium wasn't really that bad once it matured, it just wasn't the revolution Intel told everyone it was going to be. By the time the hype bubble deflated it became just another architecture for the enterprise market like POWER and SPARC.

Every thread on Jow Forums is bizarro.

Retard.
It wasn't.
It was designed as the next big thing that would blow every other CPU arch out of the water.
It spectacularly sucked on everything except very very specific code that was VLIW-friendly.

hahaa I remember that Explicitly parallel instruction computing (EPIC)

Glad AMD EPYC made fun of it :^)
