• curprev 06:1906:19, 25 August 2021 Guy Harris talk contribs 12,168 bytes −28 The 3Bs weren't designed "for use with" AT&T's own processors, they were designed *using* them (the 3B20/21 CPU, and then the WE32K microprocessors). The fact that they happened to be microcoded was not of sufficient significance to put it in the lead (for the WE32K family, that information would belong in Bellmac 32). undo
