The opinion that x86 would always be king is nepotism/ego. It was obvious nearly 2 decades ago where compute was headed with cloud and mobile becoming the dominant areas. Neither of which x86 was well positioned for.
- tremon 2y agoThere was a story here a few days ago about the exact opposite: that Intel lost out to AMD on x86-64 because they were betting on Itanic to take over the 64-bit market. edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41890779 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41890779 > Intel could have beaten AMD to the x86-64 punch if the former wasn't dead-set on the x64-only Itanium line of CPUs
