Cancelled program??
Really, Intel cancelled a that didn't involve the x86 directly and someone is surprised!?!?. Name a program that does not directly impact x86 cores or chipsets that Intel gets into and then once people start to think it might be interesting, Intel cancels it. The standard flow at Intel is, if you don't own 80% of the market after 3 years, you're shut down. Screw the customers that are just starting to come on board.... This is even more obvious. It requires SW and working with customers on SW, a double reason to kill it. Some people are so destined to repeat the past over and over again and then act suprised...
