Oh-so-wonderful-and-so-much-better Intel roadkills:
68K
Fairchild Clipper
MicroVAX
DEC Alpha
NS 16032 / 32032
Western 32k (?)
z8000/ z80000 (made AMD leave & then crawl back)
HP Snakes
sparc
MIPS ( I liked that one, maybe still Zombie state)
TI99K
Transputer (I had quite a T800 cluster then)
Intel 432 (wonderful machine, just too slow to implement
with the cache technology of the day)
Intel 860 (really HP\'s idea when the snakes ran out of steam)
It seems, Intel\'s X86 decisions were better than average.
I don\'t see ARM on that list... I\'m just sayin\'...
they were targeting a different market

watch the whole thing, it is a quite interesting insight into the whole ARM thing
You mean the market that is growing rather than shrinking and that Intel isn\'t doing so well competing in? It\'s not that Intel isn\'t in the same market, it\'s that they still have not yet found their footing in it.
Intel isn\'t going to find their footing when they long ago gave up on
those ARM markets and stopped trying.
