Didn't see that. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Apologies for this being unrelated to much of anything … it's just … you can't make this stuff up.

The issue spreads far and wide across many manufacturers. They just killed the i960, and to my knowledge they have no replacement for the x86 line - but they wouldn't make it very public if they did.

The big problem faced there is that, climaxing with the advent of AVX512, the x86 instruction set has become so complex and so convoluted, so cumbersome and difficult to program, that a new line is desperately needed. Since before the first PC, Intel has been adding legacy support for long-outmoded portions of the instruction set. PC's still boot up in 8086 mode! The legacy stuff weighs down more and more; eventually a full reset has to occur where they just roll out a new line that has no legacy support for the old one. I was in the middle of writing a full disassembler for x86/x64 (the work was interrupted by Q appearing on the scene) so I know first hand how burdensome it is to work with that instruction set. It's not inaccurate to say that the need for a brand new line of CPU's is beyond desperate at this point. If I know it, then they knew it a decade ago. I'll dig for rumors and see what I can come up with.

Ever see Kelly's Heroes? "Good man, Mulligan."

FWIW the link on the Github page for message # 150875388 (numbered 218 on that page) is broken. It points to undefined.html and 404's.

I've run across this more than once. I just closed the browser, reopened, and it worked. If you can clear the browser's cache on that phunnie phonie it might help as well.

It would be a painful transition to a new architecture but there is no choice. It's only a question of time until they're forced to do it. Or somebody else.
