But most of all, they are a microarchitecture artifice — RISC/CISC is about the instruction set architecture ... Before we check out its block diagram, I want to compare it against the ...

For example, the IBM PowerPC (a RISC architecture) has an ISA of a similar size to the IBM System 370 (a CISC architecture). Meanwhile, the DEC PDP-8 (a CISC architecture) only has 8 instructions.

Its 16-bit architecture and CISC design made it versatile for both personal and business computing. The 8086's legacy lives on in modern Intel processors, showing the lasting impact of this ...

The MCUs are the industry's first 32-bit microcontrollers based on a CISC architecture with that level of memory on chip, according to Toshiba. The TMP92CW53F and 92CW10F contains a new 32-bit central ...
