Intel has tried so many things that failed. DRAM, bubble memory, CISC,
RISC, ARM, EUV, and now Altera.
 
All they ever did successfully was x86, basically the ancient 8008 (or
maybe 4004) architecture.

x86 was a primitive dog of an architecture that Intel applied a ton of
complexity and process to. RISC makes more sense, and Intel is behind
on process now.

Imagine a CPU that allows stack overflow to punch a hole in code
space. Imagine executing data.

Intel was a branch of The Traitorous Eight, a founding member of the
treacherous Silicon Valley culture.
