>I'm referring to the Itanium; not sure if Intel got that from DEC or not.

They most certainly did not! Itanium is the marketing name for what was
called Merced for many years. It's been in development since something
like the early 90's.

What Intel got from DEC was a FAB, and in some manner the StrongARM
processor (I never have understood this one).
