Risc-V, 64 bit w/ compressed instructions (strict subset of 32 bit instrs, freely intermix-able) is beating x86_64 right now in static and dynamic code size without vector extensions or anything fancy. With a few simple macro-op fusion pairs, it also comes right up to x86_64 in dynamic uOp count. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1607.02318.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1607.02318.pdf
