x86 bloated!!!
Be-jesus! Intel blog shows a picture stating that they have added more than 3.500 instructions to x86! Can that really be true? How many transistors are needed for that?
That is why one RISC with 10 million transistors is faster than a CISC with 50 million transistors (10 million x86 transistors are needed just to figure out which x86 instruction you just read and where the next instructions starts, 20 million transistors are never used but needed for backwards compatibility. 20 million are used for cache, etc).
Biting the hand that feeds IT
