Intel's many-core version of Itanium to skip 45nm

Will Poulson ever see the light of day? 

Changing Poulson a to 32nm could mean it does not require a mature process because it is no longer an Itanium instruction set, but really an x86 chip. Or it could be a deliberate plan to put Poulson far enough out so it so nobody will notice when Intel pulls the plug on Itanium.
