[net.arch] 680x0 vs 80x8y vs 320xy debate

hes@ecsvax.UUCP (Henry Schaffer) (06/17/85)

I've found this debate to be very informative, and even the biased
benchmarks have been valuable - they show what a proponent thinks
the favored micro will do well!  I think that the participants in
the debate have had relatively good manners (extremely good by *net*
standards - but that's another flame,) the postings have been
relatively short, usually to the point, and usually informative.
  In fact the center of the debate has moved on to new ground
(e.g., code density stats, microcode), and so I would hate to see
anyone try to cut off the debate.
  KEEP IT GOING!
