"Itanium tried to move the instruction-level parallelism and the burden of re-ordering execution to the compiler"

That sounds a lot like "parallel-by-default C++" kind of language + hardware system to exploit it"

Just swapping "compiler" for language. They didn't succeed, but they did try

Edit: helping me understand where I'm off might be more helpful than a downvote. Does swapping "compiler" for "language" not respresent what Intel was trying to do?
