The CPU business has become a very skewed market due to the
cost structure.

Gigantic fixed cost (billions of dollars for research and fabs)
and relative small variable cost (silicium, labor, sale etc.)
make low volume CPU's non-competitive.

VAX, Alpha and Itanium was all killed. It seems rather likely
that the 10 would have gone the same way.
