This is all speculation of course, and if anybody actually knows that would be awesome. I think it is totally believable and reasonable that Intel would have exclusivity clauses in their contracts with the "big 3" cloud providers.
- mjevans 9y agoI suspect you've asked a bad question. It should be obvious that anyone who does know such a thing could not share it since it would violate any kind of NDA or basic 'secret sauce' / leverage based competitive advantages agreements they would have surely signed as even basic employment.
- nl 9y agoThe PowerPC thing isn't speculation[1]. Intel doesn't have the market power to demand exclusive contracts - the big 3 can just say "no" and what would Intel do? Intel didn't need exclusive contracts: they simply had a much better CPU, cheaper. [1] http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1329374 http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1329374
