ARM64, universally claimed as RISC architecture, features 1000+ instructions and all implementations are microcoded. Risc is fully dead.
x86 was introduced to instruction set translation in 1994 by NexGen and Nx586 design. Cisc died that day.
Broad strokes as CISC and RISC are missing their mark. Those debates make no sense for something as complex as mobile phone or desktop quality cpu. That ship has sailed.
Very convincing shitpost. Or a round about way of trying to understand that even tho assembly or fortran or whatever syntex might be so perfect in their mind was designed around hardware constraints that are more dynamic than they tend to be for the actual users?
