Have you heard any information about how this processor functions or its appearance? I'm just looking out of curiosity since I've seen a few videos online but haven't found much detailed data.

They probably don’t perform well. Back when the Itanium series was introduced, it didn’t handle 32-bit programs. I’m not sure if Intel ever updated the line after they adopted AMD’s x86-64 instructions.

they continue to produce them, though the latest generation hasn't received any new announcements. they've undergone numerous updates.

They were never updated with the x86-64 instruction set. Their launch in the early 2000s meant they only ran 32-bit programs, which many users found disappointing because they needed support for 64-bit applications. When compared to XEON chips, they lag behind in modern architecture capabilities.

Itatium represents a completely different design, which is why it never includes x86_64. However, all its chips are 64-bit. The concept aimed to create a fresh architecture that would eliminate x86 problems, but this idea didn’t gain traction. Currently, only a few companies produce chips for specialized needs, and switching isn’t straightforward. I believe performance was higher back then, and most users preferred working with existing software rather than redesigning for a faster processor.
