wbmw,

Alpha didn't survive because DEC and Compaq didn't manage it very well and HP didn't want to be a CPU design house. How is that similar to Intel's position with IPF?


My argument is that would Intel have depended on Itanium as much as DEC depended on Alpha, Both Intel and Itanium would have tresspassed already. Don't pretend Intel have managed it supperiorly, it's on design tables since 1994, released since 4 years and barely been sold a few 100's of thousands times.

Itatium is still far, far away from profits.
