Note: I'm aware i'm speaking very generally about the 90s.
There was also a lot of interest in hobbyist spaces for parallel computing as well as other neat things like RISC. However I'm only talking about mainstream goals and the bigger manufacturers/publishers like MS, IBM, shit like that.

Also fuck Apple for leaving PowerPC to die, when they moved to Intel in later years that was pretty fucked up, they went backwards.
