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 ...

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 ...

CISC processors are inherently more flexible while RISC designs can be more cost effective for specific applications. The real difference in the two can be found in the dedication of your system ...

After all, computer designers have only understood the difference between architecture and implementation now for forty years.

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 ...

As time passed, however, the line between CISC and RISC began to blur. CISC chips became more RISC-like, while RISC chips ramped up complexity, capabilities, and die size.
