Consisting of only 44,420 transistors (compared with averages of about 100,000 in newer CISC designs of the era), RISC-I had only 32 instructions, and yet completely outperformed any other single-chip design" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_comput...) Which was followed by x86 chips being used in nearly all PCs for forty years ...
