These later generations of Itanium use socket
LGA 1248, the
QuickPath Interconnect and Scalable Memory Interconnect having replaced the Front-Side Bus used by Itanium 2.

Kittson (32 nm) The 9700 series, despite nominally having a different stepping (E0 with
CPUID 0021000504), is functionally identical with the 9500 series, even having exactly the same bugs, the only difference being the 133 MHz higher frequency of 9760 and 9750 over 9560 and 9550 respectively. Intel had committed to at least one more generation after Poulson, first mentioning Kittson on 14 June 2007. Kittson was supposed to be on a 22 nm process and use the same
LGA2011 socket and platform as
Xeons. On 31 January 2013 Intel issued an update to their plans for Kittson: it would have the same
LGA1248 socket and 32 nm process as Poulson, effectively halting any further development of Itanium processors. ==See also==
