The PIV message posted earlier initiated some interesting comments, so I think this one can be just as interesting: HP dropping PA-RISC in favour of IA64 by 2004.
From www.heise.de:
"Continuing development of the RISC CPUs keeps getting more and more difficult and expensive, while Itanium is just beginning it´s lifetime cycle", Brown [Market Communications Manager HP] backs up the HP decission. Moreover, so Brown, Itanium systems will get cheaper simply because of higher production numbers, as opposed to house-made PA-RISCs.

| HP bound to quit PA-RISC CPU line : Comment 1 of 17 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by m0ns00n on 29-Aug-2001 22:00 GMT | | I think it becomes more and more obvious that the RISC roadmap is getting darker and darker. I don't think it will be a viable road to launch the new Amiga platform on. X86 should at least be a plan B. And we have by now read so much about the BeOS history that it should be clear to anyone that Be didn't fall because of the x86 platform. Now, let us see Amiathlon grow to a mature product with OS 4.x sometime in the future! |
