Itanium (/ˈtniəm/ eye-TAY-nee-əm) is a family of 64-bit Intel microprocessors that implement the Intel Itanium architecture (formerly called IA-64). Intel markets the processors for enterprise servers and high-performance computing systems. The Itanium architecture originated at Hewlett-Packard (HP), and was later jointly developed by HP and Intel.

Itanium-based systems have been produced by HP (the HP Integrity Servers line) and several other manufacturers. As of 2008, Itanium was the fourth-most deployed microprocessor architecture for enterprise-class systems, behind x86-64, Power Architecture, and SPARC. The Poulson processor was released on November 8, 2012. While Intel said in April 2015 that it continued to work on Poulson's successor Kittson, Hewlett-Packard was the only remaining volume customer and even HP has since introduced Xeon-based machines. It appears that Kittson, announced for mid-2017, will be the last Itanium released, with a modest performance increase over Poulson. As of February 2016, Poulson was the most recent processor available.
