Microprocessor

My impression was that the term "microprocessor" was obsolete for modern high-end processors, whether one chip or several. And I didn't see it when I looked into some of the IBM refs. But if you want to keep that, I won't bother it any more. Dicklyon (talk) 15:45, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

@Dicklyon:: My impression was that the term "microprocessor" was obsolete for modern high-end processors What defines "high-end" in this context? Is a Power10 a "high-end processor"? Is a Xeon used in a large server a "high-end processor"?
And I didn't see it when I looked into some of the IBM refs. IBM says that the current z/Architecture processor, the IBM Telum, "represents a significant advancement in microprocessor technology for IBM z16." and that "The IBM Telum processor is a 7nm microprocessor designed to deliver AI-driven insights without sacrificing response time in high-volume transactional workloads."[1] Guy Harris (talk) 16:34, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
