Re: Headline-whoring
The old RISC vs. CISC wars of the 80's..... and 90's.
But the RISC fanbois actually won that one. As the article alluded to:
no processor has run x86 code natively for decades, there’s always a much more efficient inner core chewing through microinstructions after the x86 code has been decoded and stripped down.That inner core on x86 is a RISC core.
ARM is RISC, RISC-V is RISC (duh), Power is RISC, x86 is RISC (cores). There isn't much outside special-purpose limited run custom logic that isn't RISC.
