So that explains where CISC (complex instruction-set computing) came from. The x86 processors from Advanced Micro Devices and Intel are examples of CISC processors.

There are two major classifications of ISA: CISC and RISC. Complex instruction set computer, or CISC, types include many specialized instructions that are of use to particular programs, but not ...

They offered the term "CISC" -- Complex Instruction Set Computer -- to describe many of the various CPU architectures already in existence that did not follow the tenets of RISC.

A computer processor uses a so-called Instruction Set Architecture to talk with the world outside of its own circuitry. This ISA consists of a number of instructions, which essentially define the f… ...

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 ...

With an eye on the diverse needs of future embedded-system applications, the RX600 Series MCUs forecasts a re-defining of the performance capabilities of complex instruction set computer (CISC ...

Both RISC and Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) approaches try to optimize a CPU’s processing time. In RISC, cycles required per instruction are reduced while instructions per program are ...

Intel, which has made billions from its closed-source, complex instruction set computer (CISC) x86 processors, is joining forces with RISC-V, the open-source reduced instruction set computer ...

Renesas Technology America Inc. has introduced the H8SX/1544F, a 32-bit complex instruction set computer (CISC) microcontroller for automotive applications including high-performance ...
