I hadn't heard about compiler vs 432 before, any links?
- p_l 3y agoI do recall some discussion about combination of really bad code generation combined with some ridiculously bad design decisions (I think it might have been total lack of cache?)
- tjalfi 3y agoThe blog entry Revisiting the Intel 432[0] and the cited paper Performance Effects of Architectural Complexity in the Intel 432[1] discuss the compiler issues.

- bitwize 3y agoAll I know is the Wikipedia article references a crappy Ada compiler whose lack of optimization made it run slower than a 286: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432
