Does anyone have meaningful performance comparisons of Itanic versus x86_64 for integer performance? (e.g. the classic Linux kernel compile benchmark - for a fair test, one of the two systems would have to cross-compile.)

IA-64 vs AMD64 integer performance

SPECint is usually considered a good integer benchmark. Here are some results:

                                                   Result Baseline
HP Integrity rx2660 (1.66GHz/18MB Dual-Core Itanium) 17.0     15.7
ASUS P6T WS PRO (Intel Core i7-965)                  35.2     31.5
