What is so great about that clip is how totally wrong it was and yet how right it is going to be in the end.
When that clip was new, the RISC chips everybody expected to change everything did not mean ARM ( even though it already existed ). None of the RISC powerhouses of the day even exist anymore.
Certainly nobody watching that scene at the time imagined RISC-V or the reasons it may indeed “change everything”. At the time “everything” really just meant performance and they were wrong. Now, RISC really is changing everything.
