Recent Processor Architects (aka Who are the computer architects?)

(via a mention on https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/)

There’s a rather good coffee table book by Stan Augarten of that title:

[11 new items · Album by Ed S] Bit by Bit - Stan Augarten

(“Bit by Bit, An Illustrated History of Computers”)

When I worked at Microsoft, Dave Ditzel gave a presentation on the Transmeta Crusoe chip. Blew my mind! Then…nothing happened.
