It wasn\'t AMD but I recall one processor that ran CP/M and DOS, both
rather poorly. National maybe?
NEC V20
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEC_V20
And it ran them surprisingly well for the time. I had one. The 16 bit
V30 version was almost as fast as a 286 and had bit twiddling
instructions. V20 was certainly faster than the 8088 by ~10%.
ISTR there was a bun fight over reverse engineered/stolen microcode
too.
The most impressive of the alternative chips was the Cyrix FasMath FPU
which was done by formal methods and found multiple bugs in the Intel
387 implementation of the IEEE floating point standard in the process.
It was about 50% faster and also more accurate which was very
useful in
scientific circles.
Quirks of fate. IBM didn\'t believe in the PC market and the 8088 was the
cheapest way to go. And here we are...
The computer world can be obsessed with compatibility one minute, and
completely ignores it the next. The hardware platform was all about
compatibility for Windows, but Apple was happy porting, and porting
again. They started with 68000 processors, switched to Power PC when
that was a better choice, then switched to Intel when that was a
better choice, all software compatible... well, more or less.
Meanwhile updating your Windows OS will break drivers for printers,
cameras, and on the odd occurrence, applications themselves. New
versions of the OS require you to verify your basic PC hardware is
supported even though they still include the equivalent of the 8253
chip for the real time clock counter, even if it\'s not used.
The only consistency in the computing world is the lack of
consistency, and even that is inconsistent making it consistent. Or
something like that.
You fucking idiot. What makes you think Bowman is in the electronics

That\'s the most fucked up site ever. What\'s the difference between:

Unknown race
Not Hispanic or Latino

I\'d assume other race includes Asians but the number seems low. No idea
on the two unknowns. The UCR (uniform crime reporting) system is
anything but uniform.
Then we get to Hispanic/Latino... Many forms have the category
\'White non-Hispanic\'. I check that one. Hispanics sometimes are white,
sometimes not depending on which is more advantageous. Some are actually
old stock Spanish. Others are mestizos or some other complicated mixture
of white, black, Asian, indigenous, or Klingon.
It\'s like our stellar VP who prefers to identify as black rather than
Indian.

\"A study from 2014 estimated the genetic admixture of the population of
Cuba to be 72% European, 20% African and 8% Native American\"
That\'s Cuba but may typify most of Latin America.
But we all know there is no such thing as race; it\'s just a social
construct except when it isn\'t.

I object to \"race\". It should be \"species\".
In fact officially, \"genus\" (which is Greek for \"race\") is anything that
can mate to produce offspring.
Species is more precisely defined.
For example, a horse and a donkey are different species, but the same
genus or race. They can mate and make offspring.
I have amazon parrots, amazon is a genus or race encompassing about 50
different types. They can all mate with each other, but they look
vastly different, some are twice the size of others. They are different
species.
Therefore white folk and niggers are a different species, they look
nothing like each other but they can mate, so they\'re the same race or
genus. Hence the \"human race\". So if I\'m racist I\'m being nasty to
aliens. If I call someone a nigger, I\'m being speciesist.

The offspring of a donkey and a horse is infertile. That\'s why they are
regarded as different species.
The human races can all interbreed freely, which is why they are the
same species.

Incorrect. A blue fronted amazon and a yellow crowned amazon are the same genus but different species. They produce offspring that are fertile, just like two different types of dog.
Again, different species, breeding ok. Different genus/race, breeding not ok. Since we can breed with niggers, they must be the same genus/race. So \"nigger\" cannot be racist.

Your failure is to actually read about the definition of species and
breeding. Yes, there are separate species that can interbreed, but
they must be separated spatially, typically by geography. Breeding
has NOTHING to do with the genus level of taxonomy.
Your idiotic rantings about blacks being a different species from
whites is your own idea and not supported by biology in any way.
