  • It’s way more common than you may realize. Intel & AMD (and other x86 CPU manufacturers of the time) did it before the first Crusoe CPU launched. (2000 according to Wikipedia)

    CISC architectures are now seen as inefficient, so all the new ones are RISC and new CISC CPUs just translate the instructions to their intenal RISCier microarchitecture. The CPU’s microcode specifies what an instruction translates to.





  • Oh no, I think I might’ve missed my chance, then.

    But seriously, I have abslutely no use for a “selfie camera” & feel uncomfortable with the whole concept of having a camera constantly facing you. At least with laptops it’s easier to put something in front. Even with a back-facing camera, its use is very limited & would prefer to be without one, let alone a handful.
