“AMD64 is the Root of all Evil” By allowing the perpetuation of an architecture and microarchitecture with many shortcomings it has made it impossible to create a secure design but only successions of Byzantine fixes as it was extended into servers. Discuss.

It's not like you can launch a new ISA by royal decree, see what happened with IA-64. ARM grew exponentially in the 2000s but it had been around for almost as long as x86. RISC-V is getting there, but it's taken years and many features are still missing. No alternatives for AMD.

It would've been great to see a technical paper comparing x86, ARM & RISC-V and explicitly calling out the advantages and disadvantages of each and the various factors and tradeoff decisions made to reach to these specific ISA designs. Otherwise, it's just handwaving discussions.
