CISC-to-CISC conversion and the ILP wall. In an interview with Ars last year, RISC pioneer John Hennessey reflected on the past few years of computer architecture evolution and on the "instruction ...

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, but ...

For example, if a database ... AMD and Intel microprocessors, but suffice it to say that the SSE5 announcement proves beyond any further doubt that CISC and RISC are both alive and well.

For example. both CISC and RISC systems will have an add instruction, but the CISC version can add all sorts of data from all sorts of sources. Constants, registers, ...

In a world of RISC processors, QuickLogic created a CISC co-processor for its EOS multi-core sensor hub chip to save power in wearables. The co-processing core is called the ‘flexible fusion engine’ ...

There are two types of ISA: CISC (complex instruction set computer) and RISC (reduced instruction set computer). Back in the 1970s, Intel developed a CISC called x86 for microprocessors that ...

RISC-based systems have been underpowered because they can only communicate in simple commands with each other, the CISC architecture, on the other hand, is based on complex commands.
