x86 was a primitive dog of an architecture that Intel applied a ton of
complexity and process to. RISC makes more sense, and Intel is behind
on process now.

Imagine a CPU that allows stack overflow to punch a hole in code
space. Imagine executing data.

Intel was a branch of The Traitorous Eight, a founding member of the
treacherous Silicon Valley culture.
