There is a big problem with TI.
They don't use their processor as they should.

For an example, TI doesn't exploit motorola 68000 on the TI92:
1. capacitor to save battery
2. Access time of Ram chip too slow (on rom 1.x)
3. Horrible software (if a key isn't released while computing, speed seriously decreases)
