Its 16-bit architecture and CISC design made it versatile for both personal and business computing. The 8086's legacy lives on in modern Intel processors, showing the lasting impact of this ...

Remarkably, the i960 as a solid RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture has its roots in Intel’s ill-fated extreme CISC architecture, the iAPX 432. As [Ken] describes in his ...

CISC architecture, which underpins Intel and AMD processors, was delivering small incremental improvements. Intel announced its second generation Core family (Sandy Bridge) in 2011 while AMD was ...

Intended as an indirect successor to the successful 8080 (which was followed up by the equally successful 8086), this new architecture was a ‘micro-mainframe’ that would target high-end users ...

The processor implements the RISC-V 64-bit instruction set architecture. This offers numerous advantages compared to the common CISC architecture implemented by Intel and AMD. In RISC-V the large ...
