The decline of Itanium

I think Linus wrote a more coherent reply than I could but here are my thoughts anyway.

The lack of an established software development and hardware infrastructure to support their processors may have been an even larger disadvantage for the RISC players. I took Intel's attempt to sell the i860 as a coprocessor on i486 motherboards as an indication that they had the same problem with their own RISC offerings and were attempting to prime the pump of i860 development by making it more available on standard hardware. There was talk of a common hardware development platform for a simplified version of DEC's 21264 and AMD's Athlon since they shared the same EV6 local bus but I do not remember it coming to anything. I believe it was too late for Alpha by that time anyway. A more modern version is the on again and off again talk from Intel about sharing hardware between Itanium and server side x86.

ARM has the software development and hardware infrastructure problem behind them. They do have incoherence between devices causing segmentation but I expect a shake out with development of a more unified ecosystem which I believe I have seen Linus mention in another forum is happening or at least being worked on.

Previous to the Pentium Pro, Intel did not have higher performance and by the time they had the funds to produce that, it was too late for the RISC manufacturers to stay ahead of them despite their advantage of lower development cost.

Are sales of ARM based application processors and SoCs for phones and tablets smaller than revenue for just the x86 chips sales which are also used for these applications? ARM does not *have* to eat the whole elephant at once. If they can successfully compete with Intel at the low end of the processor market which has happened up until now, then they can attempt to incrementally move into the high end like Intel did to the RISC processor market. ARM is not depending on some great leap of faith. They are already established and growing.

Intel can leverage development and fabrication costs from their higher end processors but they still had to develop a separate processor line to compete with ARM and up until now I have not noticed a lot of success there. ARM can do the same in reverse with their lower end processors paying to develop the higher end ones like Intel originally did when it moved x86 into the RISC market.

I am sure Intel has the ability to produce an x86 based ARM killer but can they do that and *not* cannibalize the low end of their x86 processors intended for personal computers? Linus implies in his post that they may be past the politics of market segmentation but I have my doubts. If they deliberately limit the market for Atom and its descendants to prevent cannibalization, then they are effectively fighting ARM with one hand tied behind their back. ARM can then take them on piecemeal from the bottom.

Perhaps even worse, Intel has been somewhat at the mercy of Microsoft when trying to defend the low end of the personal computer space and early Atom netbooks were crippled in the name of market segmentation by both Intel and Microsoft. ARM so far has shown no such limitation that I know of but of course they have not yet made any serious challenges there so by the time they do, Intel and Microsoft may come to their senses. *bursts of laughter*

Up until this point, the ARM ecosystem *has* gotten enough money to compete successfully with Intel at the low end where Intel has been retreating do to disinterest or not present for fear of cannibalizing existing x86 markets. As ARM as a whole moves up the average selling price tree into markets previously held by x86, it will have more funds to produce better ARM implementations. That is what Intel did to the RISC processor market and at that time, Microsoft was not a loadstone around their neck.
