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.

The roadmap for RISC is becoming darker?
I'm sorry but you misinterpret completely. HP decided to ditch its own CPU line because they can't keep up with the competition, it's too expensive to develop it and foremost because they played a pivotal role in the development of IA64. |
