SUN MICROSYSTEMS INC and INTEL CORP reached an agreement under which the two rivals will collaborate on enabling Sun software to work on Intel's next-generation microprocessor. The deal will enable Sun to fine-tune its version of the Solaris operating system to run on Intel's Merced chip, due out in 1999, allowing Intel to boast even broader support for its new chip architecture for use on high-end computers. In addition, the two companies announced a broad, royalty-free cross-licensing pact covering microprocessors, systems and software technologies. Sun said its 64-bit version of Solaris would be developed in time for Merced's release in 1999.(Reuters 01:05 PM ET 12/16/97) For the full text story, see infobeat.com

Scheerder said that although Intel has clearly established its architecture in the enterprise, Intel and Sparc are the two most popular CPUs. This will encourage software developers to continue supporting Sparc, he said. Developers "want to hear Intel and Sun are working together," Scheerder said. They also want to know that a vendor will continue supporting its CPU, said Kimball Brown, an analyst at Dataquest, in San Jose, Calif. "The user wants a direct relationship with a vendor," Brown said. Although they noted that the agreement between Intel and Sun includes microprocessors, neither Scheerder nor Miner would comment on the possibility that Sun might manufacture Merced chips or their follow-on processors.

Can Andy Grove keep profits up in an era of cheap PC's? Well it looks like for the last week of Christmas shopping there are virtually no advertisements for computers OVER $999 appearing in the newspapers here other than for Apple. Most of these $999 machines feature an Intel 166MMX and are up to 32MB. There are virtually no advts. for AMD. They must have exhausted their production. There are still some Media GX's at $799. I can't imagine that Intel is going to have a very profitable quarter.
