When I read the story about the massive shellacking Intel® stock was taking I cannot say I was surprised. AMD® has been mopping the floor with them for years. It’s a case of management shooting itself in the foot, knee, and twice in the gut. Wall Street analysts have been trying to put a spin on it to claim they know what is causing it, they don’t.

Why did the Intel Itanium microprocessors fail?
I really hate Quora making me join and follow 10 things I don’t care about just to answer this question. What a truly pathetic business model! You are probably too young to know the entire story. It’s one of bribes, misinformation, and corporate espionage on a scale that makes China look small time today. This is the story as I remember it after having lived through it. The story starts with the Alpha processor and … Why did the Intel Itanium microprocessors fail?Read more
