Cute. False. But cute. At the risk of pedantry, the ATMega chip in the Arduino can't run Doom either, nor does it have any DRAM, only SRAM and flash ram. Nevertheless, it implements all the functionality necessary to be a general purpose CPU. Still, I thank you for the pointers. I know more about Juniper's architecture now than I did a few hours ago. Based on what I've learned I'd characterize it as sharing more in common with a GPU than a general purpose CPU. Architecturally I mean. Obviously it's optimized for a different task than a GPU.
