Re: Another brilliant Magee article. China has a 150MHz Windows chip but we have no idea what the instruction set

You may never have heard of Alpha, IA-64, X86-64, MMX, 3DNow, SSE, or SSE2, all of which instruction sets can run windows, but Mike has.

we have no idea what the instruction set is

do you consider a tmta chip implementing x86 isa ? or an alpha running fx32 ? both of these can run windows but they don't necessarily implement x86 in hardware. i guess it depends on your definition of instruction set.
