I'd submit the Mill, but it's not like it exists.

  I will buy one if they ever make it.

    Are they still hacking on it? Maybe get it running with Hurd when it's done.

      The last Mill CPU talk was put on Youtube 5 years ago, but they mentioned they were going silent because the talks were giving too much secret sauce away and racing patent filings by accident. I never heard from them again.

        Here is a recent discussion: https://millcomputing.com/topic/what-is-your-roadmap-for-2023/ https://millcomputing.com/topic/what-is-your-roadmap-for-202...

          Now that is super interesting. I'm glad they're still around trying to do what may be a computing revolution.

    Then it'll take 25 years for them to put out the required motherboard.

  And like the proposed Mill design, the Crusoe had a skewed pipeline (the Mill folks call is phasing for some reason). That is, different parts of the instruction complete at different clocks, typically load then operations then stores allowing for single instruction loops for, say, copying an array while doubling the values in it. Easy for compilers to handle but I can't imagine writing assembly like that by hand.
