The 29K was a very well-regarded chip... It stood out among the other "high-performance microcontroller" chips due to its high-profile cooling-tower heatsink and dissipated more heat than any of them. And wasn't it still in bipolar technology, when everyone else was moving to CMOS? The earlier 2900 product line was a lot more interesting. Those slices were twice as wide (4 bits vs. 2) and twice as fast (50 ns vs. 100 ns) as Intel's 3000 series. AMD drove Intel right out of the bipolar business at that point. I believe even AMD's success in recent years has a lot to do with the infusion of "Intel genes"...Vin Dham, etc. You really make me laugh! Vin Dham was equally loved at both Intel & AMD. And you left out Dirk Meyer, your fellow Intel alumnus and VP of the Computation Products Group at AMD. He's probably a better computer architect than anyone else who ever worked at Intel. But he must have thought life was just too short to spend it in the Constructive Confrontation Culture you & Paul grew up in (and retired early from) at Intel.
