In 2019, PCI-\u00adSIG had over 700 members, and its board of directors included representatives from AMD, Dell\/EMC, Intel, Nvidia, Keysight Technologies, Syn- opsys, Qualcomm, and IBM.33 Standards owned by a for-\u00adprofit enterprise place users at risk of ex post holdup by the \u00adowner. By placing PCI (and \u00adlater the USB standard) in the hands of an industry consortium, Intel renounced its rights to profit from the standard.<\/p>\n<p>\u00adToday, a com\u00adpany can use the PCI bus architecture and all its variants for a flat fee of $4,000 per year.34 This nominal amount stands in stark contrast to the 1 \u00adpercent to 5 \u00adpercent of revenue that IBM attempted to charge for using the Micro Channel bus. One Well-\u00adDefended Strategic Bottleneck Is Sufficient Control of the PCI bus was unnecessary \u00adbecause Intel already controlled a strategic bottle- neck in the form of the integrated pro\u00adcessor, chipset, and internal buses. As long as Intel\u2019s primary strategic bottleneck was well protected and no other essential and unique compo- nents \u00adwere controlled by for-\u00adprofit agents, controlling multiple strategic bottlenecks was redundant.<\/p>\n<p>(Of course, Microsoft controlled a second strategic bottleneck in the form of the operating system. Intel and Microsoft\u2019s relationship is explained next.) In contrast, it was in Intel\u2019s interest to address flow bottlenecks in the instruction paths of hardware and software supplied by complementors. In the early 1990s, \u00adthere was \u00adgreat concern among Intel engineers that sales of Pentium chips (first released in 1993) would be held back \u00adbecause the ISA bus was too slow to take advantage of Pentium\u2019s speed. If putting an industry association in charge of PCI would hasten adoption of the new bus standard and make PCs faster, Intel had good reason to follow that course of action.<\/p>\n<p>We now turn our attention from Intel to Microsoft, the second sponsor of the Wintel platform system. Microsoft\u2019s Subsidiary Platforms Microsoft\u2019s approach to technical and strategic bottlenecks paralleled Intel\u2019s in many ways.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u00a9 2024 Massachusetts Institute of Technology This work is subject to a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND license.
