 Poulson isn't in a hurry to come out as it isn't in the competition.
Its role is to fulfill contractal obligations designed to stretch the
last 2 IA64 chips as long as possible.

I had heard that it as expected in the fall of 2012 as a chip. Have not
heard when HP will announce Poulsen based servers.

And from HP's point of view, they may have to issue patches for HP-UX
and VMS to make use of that new hardware.
