Otherwise, imagine that somebody came along and altered the core architecture along with the core instruction set. It would invalidate all the prior intellectual property and destroy the ecosystem.

ARC's configurable processor adds the ability to run both 16 and 32-bit instructions on a 32-bit architecture, allowing designers to reduce memory requirements by up to 30%, resulting in both lower ...

x86, the mainstream instruction set architecture for PC CPUs, originated from the Intel 8086 processor and has been in use for 46 years. Technology blog Hackaday claims that x86 will be extinct in ...

Reduced instruction set computer, or RISC, types have a smaller, optimized set of generalized, simple instructions with separate instructions for load/store (rather than load/store being part of ...
