I. INTRODUCTION
RISC and CISC architectures have evolved in different
applications. Most modern CISC processors are used in servers
and desktop computers, while modern RISC processors
dominate the embedded applications. Because of this historical
difference, RISC processors have been optimized for low power
systems and CISC processors for performance.
Since power consumption is becoming a major concern for
current and future projects [1], it is of great importance to
maintain adequate performance, while meeting modern power
constraints.
In the following paragraphs the authors discuss recent
studies that compare modern CISC and RISC processors
regarding ISA, performance and power consumption.
