My point is that Intel never had a plan to leave x86. They were hiring teams for x86 in 2001 timeframe. Yes they did but that was in 1994 at the beginning pcreview.co.uk Intel spokesman Howard High said the intent of the technology agreement is to have a single architecture that will replace all others from either company. Once they realised what a train wreck Merced/Itanium 1 was going to be by 1996-7 both x86 and PA-Risc suddenly got reprieves and fresh roadmaps. When AMD defined x86-64 Prescott was designed to include the original version of it in it but was only turned on when Opteron was a success as a 64-bit server chip.
