MIPS Becomes RISC-V
Everyone's right to celebrate the success of RISC-V, but part of me thinks it's a shame that there'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/PowerPC is still out there somewhere though. Apparently they're still working on SPARC, too.
