Yet INTEL seemed very keen to buy up RISC technology along with Cambridge Technologies (AKA Acorn).

RISC technology has been in dvelopment simultaneously both here and alsewhere. However, it has yet to show great promise in general applications, though some RISC architecture is being used in the latest batches of CPU's. It has yet to break through in consuler oriented PC's and applications.

But the chips designed by ARM of Cambridge are in most cellular phones.

Not that I'm off-topic, or anything.

I was using RISC technology back in 1987 in Acorn machines. Were you?

Gee I guess IBM has wasted a lot of time on their RS series of Big Iron Servers. Not to mention My Macintosh.
