- billforsternz 6y agoAmusingly, these old discussions include a New York Times link to show the picture of the two engineers; https://www.nytimes.com/1994/03/11/business/chip-makers-competing-creeds.html https://www.nytimes.com/1994/03/11/business/chip-makers-comp... The article itself is about CISC v RISC, Intel v PowerPC (because Apple were about to transition to PowerPC). Since then of course Apple Mac transitioned to Intel but is now transitioning back to a different CISC architecture and you could write a similar article all over again.
