More research is needed, but having as many options available as possible allows for easier traversal through future changes in technology. For me the ultimate computer would be an 8-core Orange Pi RV2, rip out the AI garbage and replace it with an FPGA. It would only require 16 instructions: NOT - bitwise NOT of register.  OR - bitwise OR of register.  AND - bitwise AND of register.  ADD - register addition with register.  SUB - register subtraction with register.  MUL - register multiplied with register.
