The Itanium and Xeon processors will have the same physical socket beginning in 2007.
Intel had said the two architectures, which use different instruction sets, would be designed to use as many common components as possible. But Intel spokesman Scott McLaughlin said Friday that the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip company had decided to confirm that the two chips will use a common physical socket.
