Thanks for the thumbnail, basically the difference between x86 and ARM is in the microarchitecture and microcode. However, it would seem the x86 has become RISC on the inside while ARM has added CISC features...

I suspect from your comment, you may already be aware of this article and the papers it refers to:

"RISC vs CISC: What's the Difference?" http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?doc_id=1327016
