Lambda? (Later renamed VLSI Design if I remember right.) I still have the first issue,
with an article by Ron Rivest describing the full-custom RSA chip (512 bit ALU) he
designed.
As for CMOS for high speed computing, I recently read an interesting article about CDC
spinoff ETA betting the company on that. It worked in the sense that the technology was a
success, but the company closed anyway due to the fact that it was controlled by CDC.

Back in the 70s, 4000-series CMOS was among the
slowest logic around.
I really wish I still had one technical magazine that came out during
the late 70s/early 80s. (I don't remember which one it was, anymore.)
It was devoted to keeping you up with the latest chip/minicomputer
technology.
