Rather than basing the list on implementing company it seems likely that grouping by ISA family would be more useful, avoiding artificial splits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul A. Clayton (talkcontribs)

That sounds good. I was thinking on re-arranging it the same way just haven't found the time (there are dozens of items missing as well). One thing I was trying to decide is how much granularity do we want (ISA revisions? companies). There are many many less known companies (they are slowly getting added here list of microprocessor families). Do we really want to list them all or just put the major players on the front page and link to the full list on a separate page? --David (talk) 16:20, 5 September 2016 (EDT)
