ARM instruction set has not changed very much at all since then and is in many chips in nearly every device. More are made than any other design.

She is also trans and transitioned in 1990s. Being a cis woman in technology can be frustrating even today. She was a trans woman in UK tech in 1990s.

This is a innovator in technology. Not Jobs, not Musk, not Gates. Wilson created the CPU design which is cheap, simple, efficient, strong, and has become universal today.

    It does this using micro operations which essentially make it a RISC-ish processor with a CISC interface. All of the CISC features are baggage. We do not like instructions which operate on memory especially, as memory is not synchronized with the processor since 6502 days.

    True CISC designs can be tightly pipelined, but there are severe limitations, and such designs were abandoned in 1990s.
