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 ...

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 ...

The RISC-V Summit drew about 1,000 people to San Jose, California, this week to hear the latest on the open-source processor.

That said, the lines between RISC and CISC are a little blurrier these days, with each borrowing ideas from one other and a wide range of CPU cores built on architecture variations.

They are RISC on the inside and CISC on the outside with a translation layer that turns the CISC instructions into multiple RISC instructions that actually get executed.

The ARM-based M series is a RISC design rather than Intel's x86 CISC architecture. RISC circuits use less complex instructions, run cooler and thus save battery, which is why an ARM chip is used ...

RISC is an alternative to the Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) architecture and is often considered the most efficient CPU architecture technology available today.

For any Ars Technica readers who've been with us since 1998 and who fondly recall the "RISC vs. CISC" wars of yesteryear, I've got great news: the battle is back on. Here's a look at the new state ...

RISC-V is improving day by day, and a team already documented their process to get The Witcher 3 and Stray running on the architecture.
