That said, itanium is a good name for the architecture that matches common usage. I think these days the intel approved phrase is "intel itanium architecture". I'm not sure what IPF is -- perhaps a reference to itanium processor architecture (a typo for IPA?) -- but in any event it's no longer in current usage, even by intel. If a move is in order, I vote for using "itanium".
