8031/8051 are a thing as was (is?) i960

(pretty amazing though just how much high end graphics stuff was once “throw an array of i860 chips and a ton of RAM at the problem”)

I don’t but I do remember the “4860” workstation motherboard an HPC company advertised in BYTE that had both an 80486 and an 80860 on it and could run their UNIX port

they made the i740, a first gen agp card with possibly the worst architecture imaginable. on-board vram was framebuffer only, it stored texture data in system ram. needless to say it got owned by pretty much everything on the market

there were a few attempts at a second generation that solved the vram issues, but it died out pretty quick and basically left the discreet gpu market to nvidia, amd, and 3dfx(lol)

not sure which is easier for China: pressuring some sub-supplier to hide/sub this part in the BoM to one that's compromised, or just compromising the flashing station that's running a pirated copy of WinXP so it loads your software on instead, then once the job is done bricking the 40 GB HD that's been around for like 15 years already so the line supervisor just assumes it's failed and any evidence gets thrown away.

fwiw, if the whole story is bunk, Apple's statement has a wholly unnecessary adverb (never found hardware exploit "purposely planted") which means the statement is technically true even if they did find implants but they don't think that they were targeted by whoever did the implanting

also, the story says, like, 30 US companies were supposedly hit, so it seems the Chinese gov’t was either casting a wide net and hoping they’d get something useful, or were (mainly) targeting apple/amazon/etc but used a scattergun approach due to the difficulty of only compromising servers bound for those companies.

based on the 'other' numbers it looks plausible that Google is now paying 9 billion a year to apple to be the default search engine, ie 6-7% of their revenue.
