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.

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

Intel, which has made billions from its closed-source, complex instruction set computer (CISC) x86 processors, is joining forces with RISC-V, the open-source reduced instruction set computer (RISC ...

I was just wanting to know if anyone can tell me if the new athlon mp and xp's are risc chips or if they went to cisc. I know the older AMD chips were all RISC, but not sure of the newer ones ...

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 Prodigy instruction set architecture (ISA) combines elements of both RISC and CISC designs; according to Tachyum, the ISA avoids the complex, lengthy, and inefficient variable-length ...

Being an open source architecture, RISC-V is a potentially attractive alternative to Apple, especially now that it is going all-in with custom, RISC-based silicon designs.
