<st1:City w:st="on">Hitachi</st1:City> and other vendors sold PA-RISC based systems but don’t see any indication that HP ever sold ownership of the chip to
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hitachi</st1:place></st1:City> or anyone else. Given that HP was doing its best to replace PA-RISC with an Intel based design starting with announcement of Merced back in the early 90s and finally coming up with Itanium
a decade later it doesn’t seem likely that anyone else would have wanted to own the PA-RISC chipset as they would have had to do what HP was trying to stop doing – design and build a chipset. HP’s stated reason for announcing
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Merced</st1:place></st1:City> design in tandem with Intel was that it was simply cost prohibitive to continue designing and building specialty chips of their own.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hitachi</st1:place></st1:City> bought the pa-risk chip from hp around 2002 and HP stopped all new sales around 2005. HPUX was on life support by 2001.

J-class workstation is 64-bit and obsolete like moldy bread. Utility companies and some engineering uses.
