[QUOTE="mmoy, post: 96407, member: 9872"] Yeah, I know. It has a bunch of registers in the background that do a lot of work behind your back for you. But Intel and AMD have done a pretty nice job at doing a lot of the little byte and bit twiddling operations pretty fast. In general, though, it's easier to talk about P4/K8 as CISC vs RISC as most people won't know what you're talking about if you say that P4/K8 is RISC. A lot of good stuff came out of the demise of Alpha. [/QUOTE]
