they have fixed this critical leadership mistake.

I'm too old and drunk to remember the details, but there was a whole set of instructions that were either small vector floating point instructions or some kind of graphics internal design. They were in the same silicon and had competing instruction sets. Not just the same silicon slab, but used the same transistors to do different things with different instruction codes to cover seldom if ever used cases , some floating point math and some vector translate. Almost none were used by more than one or two applications. That was why they chips were big and hot.
