I saw the is buying article but not if they concluded the deal. It was a huge amount of money. I also remember the tech description was like a better version of Itanium. I thought they were blocking an Itanium rival before it hit market.
Didnt follow it from there as I was doing a quick survey of Russian chips and fabs.

- nickpsecurity 10y agoThat's exactly the one I read! Thanks Jenya! So, not only was I right they could make Intel-grade chips: they've been doing it at Intel since 2004. Haha. There should be some more in Russia, though, that could support a larger team of hardware people. They could also try to lure the best ones back or get some from IBM's POWER team.
