It's about time they started using RISC processors! The old Acorn RISC PCs ran at least as fast as the equivalent Intel PCs (with H/S and fan), without a heatsink and were cool to touch!!
But then that was one of those British inventions which didn't have the muscle to compete with the Yanks.  |
IIRC, Intel do manufacture RISC cpus, and the P4 core is actually partially a RISC processor (it shares some elements).
