The Itanium was a new 64bit architecture. AMD64 is just addition to the 32bit Intel architecture. Itanium didn't make it, so we're stuck with backward compatibility all the way to 8080 in today's x86 processors. That's all in the past! What I'm looking forward is to the future SoC releases with Intel cores and Nvidia graphics.

As far as I know those are still going to be x86s, only with Nvidia dies tacked on.
