4/4 “We think of 2027 as the Kitty Hawk moment for the fusion industry — where SPARC will generate more power out than it consumes,” Joe said. Until now, only one machine in the world has reached Q>1, but SPARC will be the first that’s designed with commercialization in mind to cross the threshold.

Man, I miss the architecture diversity of the 90s: Alpha, MIPS, Sparc, Power and HPPA were in full swing, ARM was there, we had multiple x86 vendors and m68k was still viable.
Heck, we even had Z-80 and 6502s still and weird stuff like i860 and m88k.
