MIPS Becomes RISC-V
Everyone&#x27;s right to celebrate the success of RISC-V, but part of me thinks it&#x27;s a shame that there&#x27;s relatively little architectural diversity (<i>edit</i> I should have said <i>ISA diversity</i>) in modern CPUs. MIPS, Alpha, and Super-H, have all but faded away. Power&#x2F;PowerPC is still out there somewhere though. Apparently they&#x27;re still working on SPARC, too.
