Abstract: Is computer engineering a logic-driven profession on a path of inexorable monotonic progress? It isn't; computer engineering is as subject to fads and foibles as are the fashion and toy industries. To prove it, we'll take a humorous, sarcastic, controversial, and embarrassing look at twenty years of hits and misses from Hot Chips conferences, primarily in microprocessor design. We've collected panelists from outspoken one-time designers, professors, or pundits who aren't shy about making fun of other peoples' (or their own) life's work.
