Dan, > Back to CISC? But as "true" instructions instead of microcode? After all these years of RISC micro ops instead of X86 instructions?

There's always going to be microcode. Even RISC processors translated instructions into microcode.

But yeah, long after the old RISC vs. CISC wars were settled, it seems CISC is turning out to be the winner.
