Three, prior attempts at better CPU's plus one bug if we just go by the numbers. BiiN alone lost at least $300 million. They had to do a straight-up recall over the FDIV at a cost of who knows how many millions. Then, they and HP spent at least half a billion on Itanium over time. So, yeah, they've had some rough times with reactions or losses that are way worse than I've seen so far with this with some microcode updates and bad press. It certainly could get worse but not as bad yet. Aside from those, I added a link to Intel i960 that spun out of the BiiN project since it was a nice, little RISC that you might like. It had object-based security and fault-tolerance built into it. There was still potential for reviving that before RISC-V ecosystem, CHERI, and so on obsoleted it.
