A good example is the Gigatron which implemented a RISC CPU using only microcode, memory, and logic gates in the late 70s. We’ve even seen custom microcode used to aid complex debugging.

Additionally, memory latency increased by 14 per cent in the same tests, compounding concerns about the new microcode's effectiveness.
