SL> Java is designed for RISC. The 8006 is CISC.
DT> Java is not (and never has been) oriented to a specific CPU.

[Subtitile: Java chips (ie. CPUs)]
Dedicated Java processors, like those that will be based on Sun's picoJava

Proponents say native-code processing and Java-centric optimisations yield
the best possible performance for more complex Java applications that might
be on the horizon.
