"Stephen Sprunk" wrote in message s.com... .... Making innovation _profitable_ is arguably more important than bringing it to market first and then going under, because the former leads to permanent change and the latter is just fodder for comp.arch. 1. Alpha was profitable, and could have been far more so. The consequences of the fact that Compaq (and DEC before it, post-Olsen) chose to concentrate on its failing PC business rather than on its profitable high-end products have little relevance to this discussion. 2. Given the somewhat incestuous relationship between Alpha and AMD over a significant period of time (e.g., high-level people and the EV6 bus), it is not unreasonable to suggest that EV7's memory and glueless MP architecture at least inspired and to some degree may have informed AMD's. - bill |
