Oy vey! The Z80 has built-in BCD instructions! Better add those to x86! 8 bits at a time is good enough for Z80, it's good enough for us!
Oy vey! Floating point is popular! Can't let those third-party accelerators beat us! Better rush out some notoriously difficult to program stack FPU turd!
Oy vey! VAX has 4 security rings! Better make sure we have 4 too so OSes that use them all are hard to port to RISC!
Oy vey! PowerPC has AltiVec SIMD instructions! Better whip up some half-assed shit called MMX and pretend it's innovative!
Oy vey! MMX is half-assed shit! Better make an improved sequel called SSE! Follow that up with AVX! If Hymiewood can sell the goyim the same shit over and over again, we can too!
Oy vey! Real computers have VMs! Better add some privileged VM instructions so hypervisors are forced to run in kernel mode!
Oy vey! I think I missed a few ``innovations''!
