theinquirer.org "Google is also on the road to designing its own CPUs, hiring many of the old DEC Alpha crew so they can get faster processors that suck less energy. I'm not sure if this is a great idea on Google's part, since it's going to be difficult to leapfrog Intel's pipeline of new designs and manufacturing processes for the next three years. On the other hand, Google is likely to buy processors in such vast quantities that it might actually make sense for them to commission its own optimised silicon."
