Article note: They held out for 20 years with it on the market, and another 10 in development before that, for a project so expensive, late, and beset with failure that people debate whether it was a conspiracy to suck the air out of competing high-end architectures, or simply Intel's third sequential utter overestimation of their own ability to produce a viable next-gen architecture (after the iAPX432 and i860/960 stuff). It'll be weird not seeing jokes about it in the tech press, it's been a constant for the entire part of my life where I've been paying attention to the tech industry.
