The Madison is just an evolutionary upgrade to McKinley, thier 64-bit CPU line.

Quote

Both of Monday's demonstrations highlight one feature of the Madison chips: They are "pin-compatible" with their Itanium 2 predecessors, meaning that a computer can easily be upgraded with faster chips. It also means that Itanium server designers such as Unisys, HEC, Hitachi, Hewlett-Packard, SGI and IBM don't have to start their server designs from scratch when each new processor arrives.
