Analysis of ARM, X86, MIPS designs shows no difference Bernard Cole, Editor of the EE Times' Microcontroller and Printed Circuit Board Designlines EETimes (6/30/2015 06:07 PM EDT) A new study ...

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 ...

And if CISC won, then RISC was a useful idea whose time came and went, and some of its better ideas live on because Intel has adopted them for its x86 family.

RISC vs. CISC wars raged in the 1980s when chip area and processor design complexity were the primary constraints and desktops and servers exclusively dominated the computing landscape.

Many of the differences between RISC-V, ARM, and x86 microprocessors are subtle and relate to how memory is addressed, branches are executed, exceptions are handled, and so on. This article will ...

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. CISC ...

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.

AMD's SSE5 ends the old RISC vs. CISC debate Prompted by the chipmaker's announcement of the SSE5 instruction-set extensions, Glaskowsky analyzes the ultimate outcome to this old controversy.
