Itanium servers rank fourth

Among servers shipped with high-end processors in the third quarter of 2005, many more carried UltraSparc or Power chips than Itanium.

Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC chip, which Itanium was designed to supplant, still is used more often.

At 1.7 million, shipments of servers using lower-end x86 chips far outpace those of servers with higher-end chips.
