These days I'd argue risc vs cisc is more about regularity and directness than the size of the ISA as per se.
I'd argue AArch64 isn't particularly RISC by the standards of the past but it sets the bar and tone for RISC today.
- dragontamer 4y agoAnd which SIMD instruction set should we be talking about? NEON-instructions or with the SVE instruction set? And if we're talking about multiple instruction-sets designed for the same purpose, is this thing really RISC anymore? Or do you really mean "just not x86" when you say RISC ??
- mhh__ 4y agoThat depends on how precisely you define the purpose. NEON and SVE seem to be aimed at different intensities of work.
