Oracle's out the chip design business

Over a week ago we've tweeted the news that Oracle will be leaving the chip design business, at least for SPARC. Our source is someone in the know that we trust. Unfortunately Oracle has done this very quietly and without making any formal press statements.

This changed this week when on September 5th Oracle published an updated roadmap. The roadmap can be viewed here: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/sparc/oracle-sparc/sparc-roadmap-slide-2076743.pdf

Take a note to the major change:

• 

  Roadmap (January, 2017)

• 

  Roadmap (September, 2017)

Their roadmap pretty much confirms they've dropped future SPARC development. --At32Hz (talk) 17:34, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
