Never did like the Intel architecture.
Always thought the 68XXX was better.
ARM is even cleaner.
Lots of legacy applications (devices + code) for the x8086. Don’t see it disappearing in my lifetime.
Pat Gelsinger is the best CEO since Otellini and probably the best shot to getting Intel back on its feet.
Their embrace of Obama was the biggest mistake of the company.
Removing the long standing “open door policy” and Indian Managers lying to Executive Staff (starting with Pentium) was their 2nd.
Outsourcing, Diversity and internal in-fighting brought Intel where it is now.
Never count Intel out of the picture.
That probably should be Jobs instead of Cook pictured
NVDA is the new INTC
The 68040 was an incredible chip, and the 68000, well, that started the Lisa/Mac/Atari ST/Commodore Amiga.
Don’t care what they replace it with as long I can still run my DOS applications...
Wow, it was on liberal youtoob so it must be true.
Things that do all the “Work” are compilers and interpreters.
The upper level languages that everybody Calls “code”, really isn’t squat.
Most applications can be ported over to any hardware, X86, 68XXX, ARM, SPARC et al.
Real time stuff is trickier, but most people don’t do that sort of thing.
The biggie for me is auto diagnostic software to go with the USB-OBD-II cables I have. Even given that, I am thinking about buying a Mac Mini in the near-ish future. Just waiting for the new chip stuff to sort itself out.
The new M1 chip is amazing and I agree that x86 has reached a performance plateau. But I would not count Intel out. They may need to design/modify a new processor (RISC-V?) but they have a reputation for outstanding performance architecture. And lets remember that “RISC processors will make x86 obsolete” took 30 years longer than predicted.
But in the meantime, the M1 chips are amazing.
My AX register has just been AX`D.
For gaming/simming, CISC chips are faster than RISC chips.
This crap started way way back when they would sell defective 2 core processors as single core by turning off the defective one. Perhaps this was OK initially but now it's so so so out of hand. You can not tell which instructions on any given Intel processor supports without a score sheet.
Instead of aiming for zero defects, Intel embraced the defects and sold them. That's a business plan ultimately doomed to failure.
Their biggest problem now is that they can not compete on the fabrication process level. Other fabs are eating Intel's lunch. Other fabs are churning out smaller, cooler, faster, more energy efficient processors.
Have always been a firm believer in RISC processors. The speed is fantastic. The chinese have embraced RISC-V architecture and are churning them out like mad. Obviously stolen from IBM in the 80’s, the RISC-6000 IBM series was a great platform.
It takes someone with tech smarts to understand and code the x86 protected mode segmented memory design. The 68xxx was not very sophisticated and could never compete with Intel’s chips and their marketing. You sound like a linear memory bigot.
Bring back the Z-80!
I’ve been using ‘Torque’ on the phone with Bluetooth. Happy with it. Only consumer-level ODB-2 diagnostics but very comprehensive.
