Item Subject: cc:Mail Text >Glenn asks: >So, let's make the question a bit tougher. ;) >Is IA-64 a superset of PA-8000? The simple answer is yes. The IA-64 is the next level of technology beyond PA-RISC...EPIC(Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing). In the hierarchy of chips that HP is using, we have the PA-8000 followed by the PA-8200 followed by the PA-8500 followed by the IA-64. IA-64 will be compatible with both IA-32 and PA-RISC.
