In computer science, an instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It’s also referred to as architecture or computer architecture. Moreover, a central processing unit (CPU) ...

While the common versions of the RISC-V architecture have about 100 instructions and are open-source, x86 is proprietary, and nobody really knows how many instructions exist.

[RetroBytes] nicely presents the curious history of the SPARC processor architecture. SPARC, short for Scalable Processor Architecture, defined some of the most commercially successful RISC process… ...
