It's Happening!
Even a complete CPU is fairly simple and can be done by a single person in a few months. The brunt of the work is in research required to come up with the right architecture to be efficient, and all the optimizations that come with it. That you can't do without a large team of seasoned pros.
user...
Forgive my autism, but that was a limitation of DOS, not x86.
:^)
All modern games are unplayable anyway due to industry-wide retardation and rampant SJWism, not to mention DRM cancer. Any game old enough not to make my stomach churn will be easily emulatable on the POWER9, regardless of the ISA it was released for.
They moved to intrinsics years ago, but of course that doesn't change anything except triggering my autism.
Power9 is great man but don't spread conjecture because you clearly have a superficial grasp on how all this works at best
Emulation is a common tool for reverse-engineering, which can be used for defeating DRM measures, online cheating and unauthorised modding.
The 8080 had a 64k address space, and 8086 was limited to 1MB... where did you get that number from?
You dudes seem to be confusing the IBM PC with the 8086 compatible inside.
sounds like double speak for high tech pranking.
