   I have been impressed with one of our frequent contributor's encyclopedic   
   knowledge of 21st century microprocessor architectures during my occasional   
   forays to comp.arch .   
      
   This may be slightly off-topic for comp.lang.forth but as this is a more   
   intimate group with a great deal of both knowledge and opinion, let's couch   
   this in terms of microprocessors that can run Forth well on Linux.   
      
   Is there a particular CPU that shines in overall architectural elegance?   
   Which microprocessor is closest to getting it all right? Is it just a   
   matter of buying the latest available from ARM / Intel / AMD or are   
   newer models using cores & kludges to gain performance whereas a system based   
   on a 4.4Ghz Intel Pentium Gold 8505 is really the choice for someone who wants   
   a brilliantly executed machine?
