another way of looking at itanium is that it's like a multicore
processor that is programed with a single instruction stream.
given a general-purpose workload, it stands to reason that
independent threads are going to be scheduled more
efficiently and independent threads can be added at will without
changing the architechtural model. so it's also easier to scale.
