First Post! Uh, I mean, First CHERIoT Silicon!

We have our first chips back! It is very exciting! Spatial and temporal memory safety, fine-grained compartmentalisation, and also a load of other big chips on a board, so you can play 'Where's ICENI?' on the board picture!

When I first saw a 100 MHz Pentium, I thought it was the end of upgrade cycles. What could you possibly do with a 100 MHz CPU in your computer? And now our first microcontroller is 250 MHz. It also has more RAM than my first PC (Amstrad PC1640). Computers are so fast now!

@david_chisnall And yet desktop software can still feel slow, and griping about bloat and slowness is a perennial pastime among computer power-users and developers. Any idea what we can do to break the cycle of "what Andy giveth, Bill taketh away"?

Revert to an early stage and take a different path?
