the Cyber series and 709(4) could be interesting.
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?
