Intel's disruption is now complete

ADM64... Aka Yamhill on Intel. Holy shit I had to sign waivers and get a special Unix acount just to ACCESS the RTL model with Intel's 64-bit iHDL.

I kinda laughed when AMD beat Intel to the punch not once, but TWICE. (1GHz, then 64b).

I also worked on the 740, 810 and 815 (both hardware and drivers, oddly, I did a lot of stuff). Game devs HATED us for the 810/815 because it was such huge volume they had to target it as the LCD.

Can you elaborate on all of that? I'm unfamiliar with "RTL", "iHDL", "740", "810", "815", I assume "LCD" is lowest-common-denominator?

Correct me if I am wrong.

RTL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register-transfer_level

RTL is a way to model a digital circuit and some common HW design languages are VHDL, Verilog amd Intel's proprietary iHDL.

Numbers are just Intel chipset families.
