Intel Itanium 9740

8C/16T · 170 W

The Itanium 9740 is an 8-core, 16-thread model of the Itanium 9700 series (code-named Kittson), the final generation of Intel's IA-64 server processors, launched in May 2017. The 9700 series is functionally identical to the earlier Poulson-based 9500 series and shares its 32 nm process; the 9740 runs at 2.13 GHz with 24 MB of L3 cache, a 6.4 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect and a 170 W TDP in the LGA1248 package. It was built mainly for HPE Integrity mission-critical servers, and Intel has since discontinued the Itanium line.

Notes
Itanium uses the IA-64 instruction set and cannot run x86 versions of Windows; Windows 10 and Windows 11 were never released for it. It is used mainly with HP-UX on HPE Integrity servers. The Linux kernel removed IA-64 support in version 6.7, and current Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch Linux releases do not support it.
