Oracle Won't Abandon SPARC, Says Ellison

Posted by timothy on from the this-intermediation dept.

fm6 writes "When the Oracle acquisition of Sun Microsystems was announced, it was widely assumed that Oracle was interested only in Sun's software technology, and would sell or discontinue all its hardware businesses. Larry Ellison, in an interview just posted on the Oracle web site, says that's not what's going to happen. In particular, SPARC isn't going anywhere (PDF): 'Once we own Sun we're going to increase the investment in SPARC. We think designing our own chips is very, very important. Even Apple is designing its own chips these days.'"

    For whatever reason you chose AC, I will still give you unofficial 'Kudos' for that.
    Looking at the parent's UID, you might have included an:"are you extremely new here" phrase in your comment...it would be applicable in so many ways.

    Well done, AC!!! Whoever you are!
