Re:Is the Mill CPU real? (2014) by kjs3 on Monday March 16, 2015 @12:08AM (#9209795)
I filed the Mill CPU under "call me when you ship" quite a while ago, because the constant "let me tell you how we will solve that with Mill" threat-squats got really old and in 30 years of doing this I've seen way to many "no, really, this is going to change all of computing as we know it" architectures proposed, that never amounted to anything worthwhile, and here in 2015 I'm still buying the 8086's grandkid. At least ARM and MIPS are keeping it somewhat interesting, and Power 7 and T5 are looking at interesting architecture innovations, and, most importantly, are actually shipping something instead of hanging out on HN telling us how awesome it will be one day.
