Re:iAPX432: Gordon Moore, Risk and Intel’s Super-CISC Failure by trzy on Sunday April 02, 2023 @04:55PM (#35415107)
Trivia: The i960 was used to power Sega's highly successful Model 2 arcade board, which truly ushered in the era of 3D gaming* (with Daytona USA), and was used in the F-22 Raptor until it was later replaced with other CPUs.

* Certainly not the first 3D arcade hardware but arguably this along with Namco's MIPS-based System 22 (Ridge Racer, released a little before Daytona), was the inflection point that made 2D effectively obsolete.
