>Arm64 is a far more pure RISC
I guess we have a very different definition of RISC.
Edit: Actually found the argument [1] back then. Time flies. These debate has been going on for years if not decades so I wont go and rehash everything. There was another long thread on Realworldtech as well where Linus said something similar. But I cant find it right now.

- brucehoult 2y agoYou can find any number of clueless people arguing about any subject. I follow the definition of people such as Dave Patterson (who invented the terms "RISC" and "CISC"), John Hennessey, and John Mashey. Here is a 1995 reposting of something Mashey first posted in this much detail in I think 1991, with proto-versions going back to at least 1988: https://yarchive.net/comp/risc_definition.html https://yarchive.net/comp/risc_definition.html This post is regarded in the CPU designer industry as pretty much definitive.
