yes itanium is dfferent as explained here
http://www.intel.com/products/server/processors/server/itanium2/
BUt itanium is adifferent chipset it is not part of  the 8086 processoer
family . it is a  64 bit processing architecture. other than that intel
is based on x86 chipset architecture Fernando <fernandoluis@xxxxxxx>

(http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/database/oracle10g/=20
index.html), there is Linux for x86 and Linux Intel ITANIUM. They are=20
not the same, the Itanium chip is Intel but NOT an x86.
