The world class BIG CPU developing companies like IBM do it, so Intel must.

Tony,

As far as I know, IBM has never successfully brought up a CPU design on an emulator. Intel is the only company I am aware of which has been able to bring up a complete CPU design on Quickturn. They have been doing this for about a decade now. This provides Intel a big advantage with software development.

at speed

Emulators do not run at speed. They do run fast enough to test the functionality of compilers and application software.

Tony, <..right way to do extremely complex CPU design, i.e., simulate, or emulate every gate, latch,..>

So, "emulate", or "simulate"?

Boy, do you ever comprehend the difference?
