Intel's X86: Approaching 40 and Still Going Strong (morbidly curious chart/graph of instructions and patents)

While I think patents for SSE2 are somewhat long in the tooth (2000 is roughly 17 or 18 years ago), the newer ones are probably unavoidable for quite a while.

This has come up recently:

> devices powered by the Snapdragon 835.

It's a strange world.
