Not only Intel.
I had no intent that my use of the word "resurrect" should imply "only", but merely "inception", like PCI slot introduction; or, PS/2 port removal, the same kind of marketing "wisdom" as taking an internally 16-bit or 32-bit CPU (8086/80386DX) and crippling its performance with half-width I/O (8088/80386SX), all without significant manufacturing and marketing cost savings (probably extra expense considered together). -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
