- ChuckNorris89 5y agoYeah, before X86 took the performance crown in the '90 most of EDA was done on mainframes or PowerPC workstations running UNIX, including SGI.
- _ph_ 5y agoIn professional environments, x86 really took over only in the mid-2000s, especially with the Opteron. Whether x86 ever took the performance crown is debatable, if you consider the big PowerPCs IBM still sells.
