“HP said Wednesday it was working on a new computer architecture, dubbed The Machine, based on memristors and silicon photonics. “

Seems when a company tries this it flounders. Thinking of Itanium.

That was a Carly f up. Get rid of the entire processor technology group. Expect your HP-UX/PA-RISC customer base to remain. All while farming it out to Intel and expect to keep them committed to HP-UX/Microsoft compatible Itanium.

They were having problems with Itanium before they even got this far. Besides, that was mainly Intel's puppy. HP HAD great technology (DEC's Alpha), and didn't do anything useful with it at the right time.

If this flops, I would compare this ti being a large scale version of the RAMBUS debacle.
