The GP processors being used today are fine for that, general purposes, and can do anything in software, but at the expense of power consumption and latency for high performance computing. HP became successful by developing custom calculator platforms, like Saturn. "As far as calculators go". Not my wishes.That would be to much expectation for calculators. Just a decent handheld calculator - with a decent programming language without many serious errors - that will do. The creators of the Prime language had not sufficient experience to know what they were working with. Just a normal experience among youngsters.: "Those old gigs. Let us show how to do it". That seems to be the way this world are turning for the time being. And has done, for the last couple of generations. Even got worse since unscrupulous importers of the scrap wares from the far eastern. -These importers certainly are among us older ones. |
