Re: "The first Western superscalar processor appeared in 1992 while ours arrived in 1978. Moreover, our variant of superscalar is analogous to the Pentium Pro introduced by Intel in 1995."

I guess this tecnhological superiority was why the Russians won the cold war.

Re: "El-90 featured

Ae you sure this isn't supposed to say "vacuum tubes" instead of "transistors"?

Jens,

Re: "Superscalar architecture was invented in Russia ... in 1978 almost
15 years ahead of Western superscalar processors, Elbrus implemented a
two-issue out-of-order processor with register renaming and speculative execution."

Aren't these the same "guys" that claimed to have invented the telephone,
television and motorcar ?? You might want to check your sources, Jens ... They
appear to be highly "questionable".

Make It So,
Yousef
