According to its patent, "Apparatus and Methods for Enhancing the
Performance of Personal Computers", which All Computers has held since 1996,
Intel owes it some big money ($500 mln, probably in US $ too).
Now I didn't realize it till now, Intel only started enhancing the
performance of its computers since 1996. Until that point, computers had
remained at exactly the same performance level for decades. The transition
from 8088 to 286 -- imaginary. The introduction of of the 32-bit 386 in
1986 -- happened completely inside my mixed-up head -- PCs must've been
32-bit all along. Adding the L1 cache and FPU right into the same die with
the 486 -- buh, never happened. Pentium? Everything had been a Pentium all
along since the beginning of time, until Intel finally introduced the
Pentium Pro in 1996 -- which *must* be based off of this patent. It only
makes sense.
