Note that doing variable instruction length is not an issue per-se as proven by more dense, yet still easy to decode RISC-V.
The way x86 does it, however, is very costly to decode and overall awful.
- fooblaster 2y agoyeah, there's a lot of nuance there. Not all variable length isas are a problem. X86 definitely is.
