she hacked youJul 9, 2023

Anyone else remember that scene from hackers where they say RISC is the future

My friends and I would laugh at it, because it was so clear at that point x86 was victorious

27 years later, that line is now true! And now all I have is egg on my face

I was so naive, I mean, she's acid burn, who am I?

I'm giving away my atmel chips and obviously switching over to the ARM32 M0+

Not hip? These chips are far more powerful, use less electricity + idle mode. AND are now cheaper

@ekis fun fact: they are talking about the P6 chip which is the one where micro-ops were introduced, so the first one which decoded x86 into quasi-RISC

@mxey @ekis Also the game they played was on an SGI (dev version of Wipeout I believe), ergo MIPS, ergo RISC, also PlayStation :)

Hack the planet!!!
