I can think of some coworkers at Intel who have been there a decade and never seen a project get out the door. In fact, in one meeting I was declared the odd-ball because I could claim a half a dozen shipped products in 15 years. ;-)
One project went on for 8 years (and $300,000,000) before being closed down. This stuff happens in high-tech all the time.
Hmmm, Dave, was that the iAPX432 multichip Ada processor?
;-)
Intel does have the luxury of funding all sorts of gambles, experiments, etc. since they can sell a given 1mm silicon, on average, for 2.5X-4X what other semiconductor mfgrs can (i.e, Motorola, Philips, TI, etc.)

Darn! I'd buy one! The ACO guys were doing some COOL things!
They must have sold 500 of them at least! ;-) But that was a pretty good money looser too.
I was thinking of BiiN. A closely related later joint-project between Intel and Siemens.
