My opinion is that AMD still has the better CPU architechture and a

Well, AMDs Athlon64 is hardly comparable to IA64 (Itanium), either
performancewise or pricewise. And even when Itanium runs most other CPUs
into the ground when it comes to fp performance, for BOINC it's out of the
run simply due to the lack of a BOINC client for it...
