Windsock, Paul,

Re:"Sun will stick with their UltraSparc direction for about 3 or 4 more years."

>>That's correct. Sun currently has a group doing exploratory work on the use of an IA64 platform as a backup plan so it will be available if needed.

It will happen. I have heard 3 to 5 years.


Sun has, what, UltraSparc IV and V in development, so they crank those out and then stop any more Sparc development? I looked at their website and all the microprocessor design job descriptions mentioned Sparc, didn't see any hint of Itanium at all. Well kept secret what you say about the Itanium platform work? Of course, that investigation would be more architecture than design. A guy I know that's made the rounds of a few computer companies in the valley, the other day used the words "Sparc is dead". We'll see.
