Joey - Re: " Even if Compaq reduces cost on Alpha, why would ANY CPQ competitors use this chip (e.g. IBM, SUN, HWP, etc.)? They will go with their own proprietary RISC chips and try to differentiate (a-la chipsets) on Intel chips."

In reality, ALL RISC CHIP makers except SUN are using Intel's x86 CPUs and plan to use MERCED in the future.

These include:

MOTOROLA
IBM
SGI
HP
Hitachi
NEC
Fujitsu

Joey and thread,

INTC had positive $$$ inflows, at both the institutional (blocks) and retail levels, yet the stock declined more than $7.

Seems clear to me some games were being played. Same happened to large-cap tech stocks such as IBM and LU.
