historic CPU arch

Today when I was waking up the last dream I was watching was about Intel's u-arch. (One before was about myself in a supermarket wearing a invisibility cloak thinking about how can I pay for groceries while cashier does not see me).

I was recalling the sequence of new architectures that were released since I started work for Intel, and key characteristics of each and what were performance glass jars.

When I am fully awake, I cannot recall the details I knew when I was half-sleeping :)
