That's what I'm saying is wrong. Note that the instructions are RISC style i.e. some fairly large instructions decode into a pretty small number of micro-operations, which implies said "RISC" operations are actually quite bulky.
Issue-width isn't everything, but ARM chips are really showing the limitations of x86.
- mhh__ 6y agoAddendum: "Wrong" is also wrong. More nuanced would be to say that for an introduction to architecture (i.e. for an engineer to draw a trend line with a fat pen on a graph), this is the kind of detail that actually matters when it comes to intuition-building, so it's misleading.
