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 11 of 17 | ANN.lu |

The A2200 was such a bad design that all Commodore subsidiaries (UK, Germany etc.) refused to sell/support it, so the design was scrapped altogether. Perhaps the only occassion when Commodore HQ listened to what other people were saying. |
