Server Processors: Chapter 2009 (Part 2)
One possible answer is that the trend is unstoppable. Interest in non-x86 high-end processors will continue to decline until it vanishes entirely. POWER, Itanium, and SPARC will simply take their places as the final three victims in a long line of failed high-end processor architectures: Alpha, MIPS, PA-RISC, Clipper, the 88000, the 29000, the i960, and a host of other largely forgotten architectures that once vied for performance leadership.
