- phkahler 9y agoIt is an interesting play. I didn't think WD would be all that relevant, but... I figured with open ISA the CPU would no longer be a significant piece of IP and competition and leadership would move to those with graphics IP. OTOH if tightly coupled CPU and storage was to become a big thing then storage companies would be the big winners (maybe just in some markets). But the fact that they talk about contributing back is interesting. If companies with GFX or storage want their specialty to become the real value, they will benefit by contributing high quality IP to the open CPU movement thereby destroying the market for the old guard (CPU makers).
