I wonder when this "databases are nearly always bottlenecked on IO" perception finally is going to die. I think it's been false for > 50% of instances for at least 15 years. And it's just plainly wrong when we can have small-ish servers with >16 internal NVMe drives.

There's no RISC solutions to that. CRC is pretty cheap to compute in hardware, but expensive in software due to dependencies. At least PowerPC, ARM have a CRC instruction too, it's not just intel.

Oh I'm not (seriously) arguing that it's not useful nor a good idea... So is the feeling today that RISC in general was just an overreaction to some poor design choices? Or that RISC is a good idea with a few tactical exceptions allowed? (If you have an opinion)
