2015 latest revision with DDR3. That's not living, that's palliative care.
In all seriousness, OpenPOWER and Power9 look cool, but they're still fighting to overcome the issues IBM and Motorola designed into the architecture. Fairly modern OpenPower9 example here https://www.raptorcs.com/
Ah but you see, in the first sentence I was only pretending to be dismissive of the joke, because my comment had a second sentence (gasp), where I expanded upon the original joke with another observation of a particularly failed CPU architecture.
It is funny because I used verbal misdirection and a relevant reference from inside the community. And now it gets objectively funnier in my second comment when you make me explain it.

I feel like the author is being unnecessarily silly. The ancient ruined architecture could be PowerPC

Let me know when you're ready to apologize and give these geniuses ALL YOUR MONEY.

Yes if you remove all frivolity I'm sure the joke will be funnier

I feel like this has truly earned a "bazinga!"
