    I feel like the author is being unnecessarily silly. The ancient ruined architecture could be PowerPC

        2015 latest revision with DDR3. That’s not living, that’s palliative care.

        In all seriousness, OpenPOWER and Power9 look cool, but they’re still fighting to overcome the issues IBM and Motorola designed into the architecture. Fairly modern OpenPower9 example here https://www.raptorcs.com/

          DDR2 was best DDR: https://acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=756

          Let me know when you’re ready to apologize and give these geniuses ALL YOUR MONEY.

      Yes if you remove all frivolity I’m sure the joke will be funnier

        Ah but you see, in the first sentence I was only pretending to be dismissive of the joke, because my comment had a second sentence (gasp), where I expanded upon the original joke with another observation of a particularly failed CPU architecture.

        It is funny because I used verbal misdirection and a relevant reference from inside the community. And now it gets objectively funnier in my second comment when you make me explain it.

    Itanium jokes are never going to be not funny!

      It’s somewhat amusing how Itanium managed to completely miss the mark, and just how short its heyday was.

      It’s also somewhat amusing that I’m still today helping host a pair of HPE Itanium blades - and two two-node DEC Alpha servers - for OpenVMS development.

    I feel like this has truly earned a “bazinga!”
