Itanium was introduced by Intel as a next-generation architecture to rival established competitors like IBM, Sun Microsystems, and DEC. However, despite its advanced technical specifications, Itanium failed to gain traction, overshadowed by the dominance of x86 architecture. The lessons from Its demise highlight critical challenges in technology adoption and market acceptance.
