From the post:
>Intel’s Itanium family of processors for enterprise servers has spent the better part of a decade as contractually undead. The platform has experienced practically negative enthusiasm for most of its existence, and is commonly derisively referred to as “Itanic.” But Itanium’s slow march toward its eventual demise officially began Thursday, with Intel announcing that shipments of Itanium 9700-series CPUs will end on July 29, 2021-just over two years away.
Intel’s order deadline for the parts is just one year away, on January 30, 2020, though this deadline is only particularly relevant for the sole Itanium customer, HP Enterprise. Support for HPE’s Itanium-powered Integrity servers, and HP-UX 11i v3, will come to an end on December 31, 2025, though it’s unclear exactly when new sales will be wrapped up.
