threadshredder is the obvious descriptive and alliterative choice. It sounds good and shredding is a level above ripping

i've heard this many times, and i don't doubt it, but i'm curious: if the billions spent developing x86 chips had been spent on different architecture, what would we have now that we don't today?

i.e. would computers be 20% faster, would they use half the power? obviously this is extremely speculative but i'm curious as to what the cost of x86 cruft is

so....arm64?

don't make jokes where something trivial like beating someone in a game or having a more powerful computer is described as "rape."

they might be faster, but less power id say no. the competing architectures were all really for unix servers (sparc, power, mips) and obviously from the G5 debacle power consumption was not anyones concern but apple

mips is primarily embedded tho? and before that its best known uses were in things like the playstation
