Ten years ago, I waded into the then-raging "Mac vs. PC" wars with a lengthy treatise on "RISC vs. CISC: the Post-RISC Era." In the conclusion to that article, I declared the "RISC vs. CISC" debate ...

RISC (reduced instruction set computer), and CISC (complex instruction set computer). These two principles govern fundamental choices of CPU design and implementation. RISC architectures, such as ARM, ...

Meanwhile, back in the day... Back in 1998, when I first began covering hardware at the newly launched Ars Technica, much of my writing focused on issues raised by the raging Mac vs. PC flame wars ...

1.Intel Corporation: Intel is one of the leading companies in the development of CISC architectures. Their x86 architecture, used in products like Intel Core processors, Xeon processors for servers, ...

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’ ...

Prompted by the chipmaker's announcement of the SSE5 instruction-set extensions, Glaskowsky analyzes the ultimate outcome to this old controversy. Peter N. Glaskowsky is a computer architect in ...

Discuss the key differences between RISC and CISC in a modern context. Many ideas have been borrowed from the other camp, as example CISC processors have increased the number of registers. RISC ...

Dublin, Nov. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "RISC-V Technology: Global Market Outlook" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The market scope is defined through consideration ...

RISC-V is, like x86 and ARM, an instruction set architecture (ISA). Unlike x86 and ARM, it is a free and open standard that anyone can use without getting locked into someone else's processor designs ...
