We will know the answer to that question once we study thoroughly all versions of microcode those processors have/ had. Alto had how much? 128k ? and some big part of it was for display memory? And it was a full OS. Just imagine what you can have in firmware/bootloader now days. Is it that hard to imagine for everybody?


But, again, as of today the situation on Intel is no different.

That doesn’t mean it’s okay, but, well, I guess I would be interested to know what computer you’re using. :)
