🤓 Ken Shirriff's blog is back with another thrilling installment of "Things No One Asked For," this time diving into the prefetch queue of a processor from the Reagan era. 🎉 Because, clearly, what the world was missing is a deep dive into 16-byte queues from 1985 that even your toaster has outpaced. 🚀
