@gabrielesvelto I always thought that the entire Intel CPU architecture was doomed with its over-complicated instruction set. I preferred Motorala designs. Do you have insights on how PowerPC and ARM (Mac) CPUs fare in in this regard? I suspect they use microcode as well, but it may be less complex? But then again, that may allow them to optimize in other areas more, which in turn raises the complexity just as well. (Oh, seeing you replied already, i.e. that your ARM base is much smaller)
