Cray-1, otherwise this doesn't make sense, and reasoning why.
How you come with sales arguments that involve being slower on integer
operations, but since its scalar vector machine, as long as you have to
do many, or many at the same time, I go faster anyways, so you can pay
for what you use, if only integer operations.

Anyways, these are also nice machines, even if small operations and
integer operations take a hit, for the things done to make vectors to
enable scalar operations for a net performance increase. Which should
imply that virtual devices, and devices with a inherent clock are device
drivers and daemons.

Pretty nifty pipeline by antique standards.
