It's a completely different architecture to x86, which is a base to most other chips. Itanium is meant for high performance servers and workstations.

By my logic, why waste other peoples time asking a question that you could answer on your own within minutes? 
 

like i said in the title i just noticed this, never heard of it and aparently its an inter processing unit that costs 5k lul anyone mind telling me wth is this ?

A more informative post with signs of at least having Googled or searched up what the processor was would have been better for starting a engaging discussion....

Itanium was initially manufactured by HP then Intel jumped on the band wagon. They're very good for database environments
