Just as it did with MIPS.
Just as it did with Transmeta.
Just as it did with ARM last time

The year of replacing the x86 architecture never arrives ...
Frankly, I would probably give Itanium the best odds (Intel + Microsoft behind it), then Alpha (Microsoft behind it).
- nebula8804 4y agoHave you actually tried M1 Macs? They are truly a wonder to behold. Not comparable in any way to the garbage you listed.

- klelatti 4y agoI’m completely baffled by this comment. Itanium is dead, never made it to the desktop and so has zero chance and we have an actual mass market Arm desktop available - and apparently selling very well.
- _vdpp 4y agoI think they were arguing that it showed more promise at the time. I disagree though, I think it was simply too over-priced for the mainstream. M1 is very competitive both performance-wise and price-wise. I don’t think it will unseat the reigning champ x86 but do see them living side-by-side for a long time.
- ncmncm 4y agoProbably they were referring to Linux on an M1 desktop, which remains problematic, and might stay that way. Certainly I would never want to use an M1-family machine with the stock software shipped with it.
