The linkage between "ARM versus x86" and "CISC versus RISC" is so strong, every single story on the first page of Google results defines the first with reference to the second.

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.

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 ...

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. Today ...

Prompted by the chipmaker's announcement of the SSE5 instruction-set extensions, Glaskowsky analyzes the ultimate outcome to this old controversy.

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.
