But you still haven't told me what advantages it has. Why would I choose it rather than the, as you have told me, more efficient x86? And why doesn't anyone make them?
nobody were able to make an operating system for it,
Anyone could've made an OS for it, or ported an existing OS to it.
Geri wrote:
thats why it never manufactured.
CPU designers don't work like that - they create CPUs despite knowing there's no software for the CPU, in the same way that OS developers create an OS despite knowing there's no applications or drivers for their OS.
The fact is that virtually every CPU designer knows about and has thought about OISC and SUBLEQ (in the same way that it'd be virtually impossible to find a programmer that hasn't heard about "Hello World"); and every single one of them knows that it has zero practical value; and this is why it has never been manufactured and will never be manufactured.
Geri wrote:
but now this is finally changed.
No, it has not changed. In a hypothetical world that can never exist, if someone did create a SUBLEQ CPU they would look at Dawn and see that it's extremely poor and then port something like Linux to SUBLEQ.
Geri wrote:
the most advantages of subleq is the small transistor amout and power consumption
No, this is not an advantage. Transistors cost less than dirt and "less transistors" is irrelevant. For any specific performance requirement, SUBLEQ has inferior power consumption because you need a significantly higher number of instructions to get anything done.
Geri wrote:
which makes the architecture very efficient
No, it makes SUBLEQ a retarded joke.
Geri wrote:
and can be designed from fragments of the cost of a generic cpu, and will dissipate very small power.
No, it's still an expensive waste of power that is inferior.
Geri wrote:
its small, so it makes possible to have a lot of cpu cores.
Except, we already have more CPU cores than software developers are able to make effective use of (due to
Amdahl's law, etc).
Geri wrote:
its easy to understand its architecture, so you dont have to deal with understanding the isa.
People that actually buy computers don't care how complex it is, they care about features, performance, power consumption and price. Because your architecture is a deliberately crippled joke; it's extremely complicated for hardware and software developers to get acceptable features, performance, power consumption and price out of your architecture.
Geri wrote:
subleq is possibly the future of the computer industry
No, that is not possible.
Geri wrote:
it also removes the extremely oversized corporation mammoths and they peons from the game. subleq is the freedom that this industry is searching for.
No, the industry is not searching for this freedom (the industry is searching for ways to increase profit and prevent competition), and if the industry was searching for this freedom they would've switched to something like
RISC-V already.
