Analysis of ARM, X86, MIPS designs shows no difference Bernard Cole, Editor of the EE Times' Microcontroller and Printed Circuit Board Designlines EETimes (6/30/2015 06:07 PM EDT) A new study ...

A new instruction set by the original creator of MIPS aims to reinvent the ultra-low power, high-efficiency processor -- and to do so with an architecture that's fundamentally open and available ...

Try to investigate the differences between the x86 and ARM processor families (or x86 and the Apple M1), and you'll see the acronyms CISC and RISC. It's a common way to frame the discussion, but ...

The result is that RISC moves processing complexity up into the program. CISC does more on-chip; RISC does more in the program. For RISC, it means a larger program and more memory usage.

MIPS Technologies released details this week of the latest incarnation of the architecture that defined RISC at a time when the rest of the industry was fully engaged in CISC architecture processors.

Being the first to market with a competitive product in the electronics segment could be the difference between a one-year Return-on-Investment (ROI) and a five-year ROI or no ROI.

Unlike 1998, though, RISC vs. CISC actually matters, now. A close look at the design of Intel's newest mobile architecture, officially named Atom, will show why the decades-old "RISC vs. CISC ...
