New Itanium 2 to run multiple programs at once

The new huge storage that will debut with the new Itanium 2 in 2005 will allow the chip to run more than one thing at once. With a HUGE 24MB of cache, you can run many different programs at the same time. 24MB of cache, damn. That's more memory than my first computer (8MB of Ram).

The company has already said the chip will have two processors on a single piece of silicon, known as "dual core", and have 24 megabytes of cache.
