I see that in the two ends of the range indicated for the FSB speed, the first end is expresed in MHz (MegaHertz i.e. millions of cycles per second) and the second one in GT/s (GigaTransfers per second). The two units are not the same and have not the same meaning. Hz is a unit used for referring to cycles per second, and since in one single cycle there can be more than one transfers (e.g. this is the case for DDR SDRAM memory), I deem this way of expressing figures for the same item could be misleading.

- I suppose so, but if that is the way they are specified, then it is probably right here. Gah4 (talk) 10:06, 29 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
I am concerned that this article no longer meets the GA criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:
- There are lots of uncited statements throughout the article.
- The "Timeline" section is a duplication of the "History" section: these two sections should be merged.
Is anyone interested in addressing these concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 20:22, 31 December 2024 (UTC) Reply

There are many uncited statements. The "Timeline" section is a duplication of the "History" section, and I think the two can be merged. Z1720 (talk) 20:40, 20 January 2025 (UTC) Reply
The article says: (formerly called IA-64). When did it stop being called IA-64? Did it get a new name? Gah4 (talk) 10:10, 29 March 2025 (UTC) Reply
