Even RISC processors translated instructions into microcode. hello??? But yeah, long after the old RISC vs. CISC wars were settled, it seems CISC is turning out to be the winner. i think the right conclusion is that x86 is the winner. if ibm had selected 68008 for pc, 68k would've won. also if one considers how x86 is implemented today it turns out risc is winning because both implementations of x86 are decoding x86 instruction streams into a risc like micro-op instruction stream and executing them directly.
