I was just aboot to ask this myself. The correct answer is ARM, of course. Don't know why anyone'd suffer through the arcane instruction sets of anything else, unless they were mass producing it, in which case 8025 forever.

I own and use an UltraSPARC T2 for the free GPL goodness.

That's a pretty cool CPU, is it an ASIC, or did you get some FPGAs and installed it on them?

It's an ASIC. Our company happened to be ordering some and I requested to buy one for myself.

With the new Cortex-M0s, why would anyone bother with crap like that?
