As I haven't seen anything about this in this site, I decided to post this:

Intel Unveils Itanium© 2 Brand Name
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 25, 2002 - Intel Corporation today
announced the brand name for the second-generation Itanium®
processor, to be called the Intel® Itanium 2 processor.
Formerly code-named McKinley, the Itanium 2 processor will be
the second in a family of 64-bit products from Intel that bring
the performance and volume economics of the Intel Architecture
to the most demanding segments of computing. The Itanium
processor family enables a broad choice of reliable platforms and
applications for high-end servers and workstations at
significantly lower costs and greater performance than
proprietary offerings.
"The Itanium brand connotes a new level of capability for high-
end enterprise computing," said Pam Pollace, vice president and
director, Worldwide Marketing. "The Itanium 2 name extends
this to the next-generation of the Itanium processor family."
Through processor design innovations, Itanium 2-based systems
are expected to deliver 1.5 to 2 times the performance of today's
Itanium-based systems, and even greater performance versus RISC
-based systems in key enterprise-class applications. The Itanium 2
processor is scheduled for mid-year release. Introductions of
servers and workstations based on Itanium 2 processors are
expected to start at that time and continue throughout the year.
The Itanium 2 processor logo will become part of the Intel
Inside® program, the largest co-op advertising program in the
world.
