Gordon Haff Chip Quotations

Basically, no one ever used hardware-based IA-32 execution, so better to use the silicon for something else. Of course, basically no one uses software-based emulation either, but at least that doesn't cost chip real estate.

A fast chip got faster. This certainly helps to cement their strong current position.

I don't think anybody knows exactly what the end result of open sourcing the chip technology is.
