Try to investigate the differences between the x86 and ARM processor families (or x86 and the Apple M1), and you'll see the acronyms CISC and RISC. It's a common way to frame the discussion ...

A new study comparing the Intel X86, the ARM and MIPS CPUs finds that microarchitecture is more important than instruction set architecture, RISC or CISC. If you are one of the few hardware or ...

At least as far as the CISC versus RISC ISA wars go ... It is the bouncing off of ideas, of comparing differences, that keeps people thinking and that keeps innovation going.

WiMAX and 3G networks are poised to make mobile broadband ubiquitous in large urban centers, and two ISAs, one RISC and one CISC, are poised to do battle yet again on a new terrain that's defined ...

Reigniting the great debate: CISC vs. RISC Sun UltraSparc chip ... In the beginning, there were enormous differences of scale that fed RISC's advance, and while RISC-based architectures never ...

Disclosure. In the smaller niche of microprocessor journalism, there used to be another topic that was always good for a column: RISC vs. CISC. In the early days of computing, a CPU (central ...

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz — A recent study in the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems came to the conclusion that processor instruction set architectures, whether reduced (RISC) or complex (CISC), are ...
