As computer architecture continues its ever-widening spiral, the points on the curve that correspond to the cluster of problem-solution pairs labeled "RISC" and "CISC" will come around ever more ...

It's also noteworthy that the architecture appears to target the lowest end of the ARM Cortex division -- areas where, as we've recently discussed, the CISC vs. RISC debate actually retains a ...

Unlike 1998, though, RISC vs. CISC actually matters, now. A close look at the design of Intel's newest mobile architecture, officially named Atom, will show why the decades-old "RISC vs.

Agreement on the mutual history of CISC versus RISC stops in the early 1990s. The fact that Intel's x86 architecture went on to dominate the computing industry across PCs, data centers ...

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz — A recent study in the ACM Transactions on Computer Systems came to the conclusion that processor instruction set architectures, whether reduced (RISC ... test chip with a dual core, ...

MIPS Technologies released details this week of the latest incarnation of the architecture that defined RISC at a time when the rest of the industry was fully engaged in CISC architecture processors.

But RISC self-contained chips use more streamlined ... Intel and AMD own most of the consumer-facing CISC architecture IPs. A legally negotiated cross-licensing agreement allows the two companies ...

Remarkably, the i960 as a solid RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture has its roots in Intel’s ill-fated extreme CISC architecture, the iAPX 432. As [Ken] describes in his ...

One is called x86, the descendent of Intel’s legacy CISC architecture, and it dominates the high end of machinery: personal computers and servers. Arm’s RISC architecture, meanwhile ...

This approach contrasts with the Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) architecture, which employs a larger set of more complex instructions. RISC-V's design principles, including modularity ...
