30 years working for Intel Microprocessor Design qualifies me to make that statement.

Off topic, but I was looking around a couple of months ago for some good sized graphics of pictures of microprocessors. The ones I had in mind were the ones that look like cityscapes. I wasn't able to really find much of anything except really low-res stuff. Was wondering if you might know where such might be.
