This in no way reflects badly on Motorola, as they
documented the
behavior correctly. It does show, however, that they were starting
to lose the CISC performance competition. Probably because Intel was
simply able to outspend Motorola on high-end microprocessor R&D.
Not to mention the fact that Mot had bet (and spent) heavily on the
88000 RISC architecture and lost. Unfortunately, the marketplace
wasn't looking for a better design; rather it simply wanted faster &
cheaper.
