Intel/Hp spend $10 billion on IA64

http://news.com.com/Allies+pledge+10+billion+to+boost+Itanium/2100-1006_3-6031773.html?tag=nefd.top

Intel Solution Alliance gets a $10 billion budget until 2010.

I think this is the first time I hear of a commitment for that IA64
thing beyond 2007.

But that is a 10 billion going to the marketing alliance, not to the
development of the chip. My guess is that the contract is full of easy exits.

Note that not too long before Compaq murdered Alpha, it also helped
create Alpha Processor Inc.
.
