Well, if you consider a 5-year public SPARC roadmap from both Oracle and Fujitsu "committed" then clearly they appear fully committed to SPARC. I doubt either company would put their reputations on the line publicly if they didn’t have serious investments to back it up. Could you imagine the repercussions should they not release what they state in here?

And of course, theres many other SPARC developers still developing: www.SPARC.org, many of which are based on OpenSPARC

Intel never released a long term public roadmap for Itanium and once HP stopped/slowed down paying Intel, was just a matter of time before it died off.
