minus-square@Blue_MorpholinkEnglish11•12 days agoThe Risc Isa isn’t simple anymore. It has more instructions than a 90’s CISC CPU. Arm has 64 bit, 32bit and 16 bit (Thumb) instructions. The legacy 8-32bit Intel ISA doesn’t eat power if it isn’t used. It wastes a little silicon but it’s extremely tiny on modern CPU’s.
