=== ''HP vs. Oracle'' ===
During the 2012 ''Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Oracle Corp.'' support lawsuit, court documents unsealed by a Santa Clara County Court judge revealed that in 2008, Hewlett-Packard had paid Intel around $440 million to keep producing and updating Itanium microprocessors from 2009 to 2014. In 2010, the two companies signed another $250 million deal, which obliged Intel to continue making Itanium CPUs for HP's machines until 2017. Under the terms of the agreements, HP had to pay for chips it gets from Intel, while Intel launches Tukwila, Poulson, Kittson, and Kittson+ chips in a bid to gradually boost performance of the platform.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20120201201109_HP_Paid_Intel_690_Million_to_Keep_Itanium_Alive_Court_Findings.html|title=HP Paid Intel $690 Million to Keep Itanium Alive - Court Findings.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304054256/http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20120201201109_HP_Paid_Intel_690_Million_to_Keep_Itanium_Alive_Court_Findings.html|archive-date=March 4, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/02/hp-itanium/|title=HP Paid Intel $690 Million To Keep Itanium On Life Support|author=Robert McMillan|date=February 1, 2012|magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|access-date=March 7, 2017|archive-date=March 6, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140306014953/http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/02/hp-itanium/|url-status=live}}</ref>
