It might sound funny to a lot of you when we are writing 'poor Intel is hurting'. While I don't agree with my editor Van Smith that the Titan Intel will actually fall anytime soon, I do agree that Intel is having its hardest time since IBM made the incomprehensible decision to equip their 'PC' with Intel's badly engineered 8088 processor instead of Motorola's far superior 68k solution many many years ago. The 'older' ones of you might still remember that IBM's PC was the one and only reason why two IT companies with rather mediocre products finally became more important than good old IBM itself. If you wonder why we all have to put up with Intel's as well as Microsoft's unpleasant business practices then please go ahead and blame IBM. I guess that IBM's decision makers from that time have often wished there was a time machine, which could straighten out all their mistakes from the past.

this is a quote from tomshardware when he was disappointed of the intel 1.13 gigahertz that was unstable and just away to try to get ahead. ha! intel caught red handed. LOL I did not know this but sound interesting to me and I agree it was mistake from the beginning when an 8088 processor from Intel was used instead of the 68K processor which I thought wasn't possible. It did evolved too but only halfway say 68060 and that was the last of it hmm unfortunately used in a dieing computer called the Amiga it just die along http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif it was used in the arcade too running at 7mhz or 14mhz... was used in the neo-geo too from SNK, amazing capabilities right? well anyway it certainly is alot more advanced then 8088 processor as they say. a 68000 processor say 14mhz can still do a hell of alot because the architecture is just amazing. used in the arcade and you see it can do thing simataneously while with a 8088 proessor you will see a horrible drop in performance when used in arcade instead because it was a very buggy design and still is today... your pc crashing often maybe the result of both win98 and the cpu that is made today. remember the time slice used in win3.11? well it still there today except it hidden in win9x and winNt as well.
there is foreground timeslice, background time slice and another timeslice to switch between the two. with a 68K processor the hardware does all this! with very little or no loss in performance when doing 2 or more thing at the same time. had no ideas that Intel from the beginning had made such crappy CPU design called 8088 and quickly took over the CPU market as well and microsoft ran everyone off at the same time.
