- tw1984 3y ago> Seeing as they kept making SPARC CPUs for a decade longer because there were poor customers stuck in the SPARC trap. it would them huge to move to a different ISA and there is usually no $ return for doing that. trying not to further damage its PR, they thus decided to keep the production going. same logic for Intel making Itanium all the way until 2018 or 2019.
