Message-ID: <16577@amdcad.AMD.COM> Date: Wed, 6-May-87 18:25:58 EDT Article-I.D.: amdcad.16577 Posted: Wed May 6 18:25:58 1987 Date-Received: Fri, 8-May-87 05:07:31 EDT Organization: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, Ca. Lines: 13 Has anyone else heard that Fujitsu will be announcing, soon, a RISC microprocessor? If this is indeed fact, what are the specs for this beast? Damn, it looks like we Americans have shot ourselves in the foot again: by emphasizing simple processors, we just made it even easier for the Japanese to invade our one last bastion of market domination. Before you know it, Stolichnaya Computers will be announcing a (140-proof) RISC machine complete with a drum-shifter, postponed branches, 1/2-cycle instructions, and scraping register doors. It'll have a Czar language compiler. :-) bcase
