No. IA-64 is Intel's failed experiment in EPIC, marketed as Itanium and
used by HP and SGI for their proprietary OS. It is totally different
from the 8086 architecture.

AMD-64 is a 64 bit version of the 8086 architefcture. Intel has been
forced to follow AMD and will release a 64 bit version of the 8086. But
it is not "IA-64".

Apple will be using whatrever models of the 8086 are available at the
time the computers are being produced with whatever name Intel markets
them as. (Pentium-xx , Xeon, Celeron, etc etc).
