It seems to me that the advanced superscalar and pipelined architectures,
are beginning to look a lot like dataflow machines internally.  Am I
completely off-base or has this been noted before?  If someone spent
as much effort building a 1 million transister dataflow chip, would
they get as good or better performance?
