In article <950@aber-cs.UUCP> pcg@cs.aber.ac.uk (Piercarlo Grandi) writes: | there is the little matter of a few FACTs, called CRISP, NOVIX and | TRANSPUTER, that seem to be always forgotten (not to mention the 32532, | which has the extremely embarassing property of being a simple, well | designed, reg-mem CISC that outruns most RISCs around...) by reg-reg | and otherwise RISC designs. You speak of FACTS, then spout FALSEHOODS. Rather than guessing, why don't you really study the performance of the processors you mention as compared to current RISC processors. -- Tim Olson Advanced Micro Devices (tim@amd.com)
