Look closely in the upper left corner....
This is the original mask for the 1982 Berkeley Reduced Instruction Set Computer II (RISC II) chip. They used the philosophy of the 911: lightweight, fast, small, optimize what you need and don't add anything extra. This design evolved into the SUN SPARC CPU and was later recognized as one of the most important computer designs by the IEEE Computer Architecture SIG because of its influence on every CPU designed afterwards.
