I especially appreciated he not only offered an opinion - his specific
ideas on where the boarder between RISC and CISC was - but then provided
an analysis of a bunch of processors based on those criteria and an
analysis of the outliers that challenged his criteria.? It's a well
thought-out and explained opinion that just doesn't happen often on the
Internet.
I assume from RS/6000, he meant generally the Power gen 1 architecture.?
And IBM RT/PC he meant ROMP.? I'm pretty sure Alpha was well established
when he wrote the analysis.? Would have been nice to see that included.?
If I had more time, I'd research it.? Maybe SuperH and WE32 as well.
Is the discussion restricted to microprocessors?
