Paul, Re: "Intel Investors (You Too SCUMbria) - HP is Establishing IA-64 educational facilities - Hardware, software, and MONEY -
at 4 US Universities !
Looks like the ITanium is headed to college already !
"Hewlett-Packard Company, the IA-64 leader, today announced that it will provide four universities with
grants totaling more than $2 million in cash and equipment to fund the teaching of Explicitly Parallel
Instruction-set Computing (EPIC). EPIC is the foundation for IA-64 (Intel Architecture-64 bit), a
next-generation computer architecture developed jointly by HP and Intel. "
This is the GOOD part : "Hewlett-Packard Company, the IA-64 leader"
If what Sun Micro said yesterday is true, HP needs IA-64 to be a success at least as much as Intel does, probably more. Sun said they were taking market share from HP, have been saying that for a while. Also, they said IBM is "confused", as evidenced by their (IBM's) earnings report.
